Good ol' Polish cuisine - Slow Cooker Pork And Sauerkraut

So, when winter hits, my body totally wants and loves the Polish food I grew up with - funny that I hated most of it growing up....

Sauerkraut was one of my most hated foods as a kid - I mean I loathed when my mom would cook with it because the house smelled of cabbage, and I couldn't possibly fathom putting it in my mouth.

But as they often do, tastes develop and change, and sauerkraut in almost any form is pretty much one of my favorite foods. So why wouldn't I love Pork and Sauerkraut slow cooked into tender juicy goodness?

It takes all of ten minutes to prep and can cook while you work - and it is fantastic! So here is how to enjoy this staple of Polish (and German) cooking!

What you need:

Approximately 1 lb Pork Loin Chops or Pork Tenderloin

2 - 12 oz cans sauerkraut

1/4 cup red wine or cider vinegar

Salt and pepper

Place the pork in the slow cooker. Season with salt and pepper (you can also add Caraway Seeds)

Cover with sauerkraut. Add vinegar.

Cook on low for 7-8 hrs.

Serve with green beans, potatoes, corn, perogis - the possibilities are endless!!
