Choucroute Garnie with Spicy Pork Meatballs recipe



servings: 6

total time: 5 hours

recipe by: 

Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground pork
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
  • salt & pepper
  • 1 pound boneless pork shoulder
  • 1 TBSP olive oil
  • 1/2 pound pork belly, diced
  • 1 large yellow onion, halved and sliced
  • 2 pounds sauerkraut
  • 3 bay leaves
  • 1/2 tsp caraway seeds
  • 1 cup chicken stock
  • 1 cup dry white wine
  • 1 pound petite gold potatoes, scrubbed and halved




Directions

  1. In a large mixing bowl combine the ground pork, egg, garlic, crushed red pepper, and 1/2 tsp salt. Form the pork mixture into balls roughly the size of a golf ball (about 1 1/2 inches in diameter) and set aside.

  2. Cut the pork shoulder into 1-inch pieces then pat dry and generously season all over with salt & pepper. Heat the oil in a dutch oven over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot sear the pork shoulder until well browned on all sides, about 8 minutes total. Transfer the seared pork shoulder to a plate and set aside leaving any oil in the dutch oven.

  3. Keep the dutch oven over medium-high heat and add the meatballs. Cook the meatballs, turning occasionally, until well browned all over, about 8 minutes (the meatballs dont have to be cooked through, theyll be cooked again later}. Transfer the meatballs to a plate and allow to cool. When meatballs are cool cover them and refrigerate for later

  4. Keep the dutch oven over medium-high heat and add the diced pork belly, sliced onion, and 1/2 tsp salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are softened, about 6 minutes.

  5. Stir in the sauerkraut, bay leaves, caraway seeds, chicken stock, white wine, and the seared pork shoulder then bring to a boil.

  6. Place a tight fitting lid on the dutch oven and reduce the heat to medium-low. Simmer, stirring occasionally, for 2 hours or until the pork shoulder is tender.

  7. Take the lid off the dutch oven and stir in 2 cups of water. Using a wooden spoon scrape the bottom of the dutch oven to release any stuck on bits. Add the potatoes and meatballs and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Place the lid back on the dutch oven and reduce the heat to medium-low. Cook, covered, until potatoes are tender, about 40 minutes.
