Pork & Sauerkraut with Apples

Ingredients

  • 2 pork tenderloins
  • 2 cloves garlic, peeled and cut into slivers
  • salt and pepper
  • 3 tsp ground cumin
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 cup of chicken or beef broth
  • 1/2 cup white wine (or Prosecco left over from New Year’s Eve)
  • 2 medium sized apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
  • 1 can sauerkraut

 

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400° F. With the tip of a sharp knife, make deep little slits all over the tenderloin and insert the garlic slivers. Season with salt, pepper and 2 tsp cumin.
  2. Heat the oil in a skillet on medium high heat and sear the tenderloin well on all sides (about 5 minutes).
  3. Remove the tenderloins from the skillet (do not discard the juices in the skillet) and place in a roasting pan. Add the broth and white wine to the roasting pan. Cover and roast in the oven at 400°F for 20 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 145 deg F. remove tenderloins from oven and place on a cutting board. Cover with aluminum foil and let rest for 10 minutes.
  4. Meanwhile, cook the apple slices in the same skillet. Sauté until soft. Add the sauerkraut and 1 tsp cumin and continue cooking on low heat.
  5. Prepare dumpling mix. The original recipe calls for 2 cups of Bisquick and 2/3 cup milk.
  6. When sauerkraut juices begin to bubble, top with dumplings. Cook for 10 minutes uncovered, then cover and cook for another 10 minutes.
  7. Remove from heat, dish, slice the pork, serve, and enjoy a lucky New Year.
