Pork loin with saurkraut and perogies

Here is a tasty and very simple one dish meal. Simply layer sliced onions and some minced garlic in the bottom of the roasting pan, and set aside.






Take 2 pork loins and slice diagonally in 1 1/2 inch slices. Season with essence (a spice blend - which I hope to share in a future blog) and sear/brown in a hot pan. Arrange pork loin pieces on top of onions in roasting pan.




Drain one large can (or about 2 cups) of saurkraut and spread over pork loin pieces. Season with fresh pepper. Arrange perogies over saurkraute. Drizzle a bit of olive oil over the top and season with fresh pepper. Cover and bake in 350' oven for 40 minutes or until perogies puff up a bit and the meal is hot.



Serve with light sour cream. Enjoy! (maybe a future blog post will describe making perogies....)

Any special brands of sauerkraut that you recommend?

Any organic brand is nice...they are all salty so compare the mg of sodium listed on the label. I usually rinse mine after draining it. I have tried many different brands and all are quite tasty, even the no name brands. I usually buy a canned variety, but am not fond of the versions with "wine". I haven't tried making it myself, because I remember my parents making it..and as good as it was, it was a lengthy, smelly process as it fermented..and I still love sauerkraut!
