Ingredients

• 1 pound pork loin
• 1.5 cups sauerkraut
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium, diced yellow onion
• 2 cloves, minced garlic
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon caraway seeds
• 0.5 cup chicken broth
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Slice the pork loin into thin, bite-sized strips. Pat the pork dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork strips to the skillet and cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned on all sides. Remove the pork from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the diced onion. Sauté for 2-3 minutes, or until the onion becomes translucent.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 30 seconds, stirring constantly to prevent burning.

Step 5

Sprinkle the paprika and caraway seeds into the skillet and stir to coat the onions and garlic in the spices. Cook for an additional 1 minute to release the flavors.

Step 6

Return the browned pork to the skillet, followed by the sauerkraut. Stir to combine all ingredients evenly.

Step 7

Pour in the chicken broth, then season with salt and black pepper. Stir again, ensuring everything is evenly distributed in the skillet.

Step 8

Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet with a lid, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the pork is cooked through and tender, and the flavors have melded together.

Step 9

Taste the dish and adjust the seasoning if necessary. If desired, garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.

Step 10

Serve warm alongside crusty bread, mashed potatoes, or a side of your choice. Enjoy!
