2. Pork and Sausage Sauerkraut

If you’re looking for a hearty sauerkraut recipe that will fill you up at dinnertime, this meaty sauerkraut recipe is a perfect choice. This recipe assumes that you have premade your sauerkraut; if you haven’t, refer to recipe #1 first so that you can make your sauerkraut. This recipe is typically served with a side of mashed potatoes or rice, but you can eat it on its own.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb. pork ribs – boneless is best
  • 14 oz. sausage – such as kielbasa; sliced
  • 1 Tbsp. vegetable oil
  • 1/3 tsp pepper
  • 1/3 tsp salt
  • 4 cups premade sauerkraut
  • 1 Tbsp. brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup water

Instructions

  1. Turn your pressure cooker on “sauté” mode and add your oil.
  2. Brown the ribs for several minutes, adding salt and pepper to taste.
  3. After browning the ribs, add your sauerkraut and brown sugar; take care to sprinkle the brown sugar on top of the sauerkraut, as this will help with the caramelization.
  4. Then add in your slices of sausage and cover with water.
  5. Lock the lid of your pressure cooker and make sure that the vent is sealed.
  6. Cook on manual setting for 15 minutes.
  7. Let the pressure cooker vent naturally if you wish, or you can vent it manually if you do not want to wait for the natural release.
  8. After the steam has been released, unlock and open the lid.
  9. Finally, mix the sauerkraut slightly to combine flavors.
  10. Your dish is now ready to serve.
