Substitute pork loin for the ribs:
"Ribs and Sauerkraut"
Begin 2.5 hours ahead. 4 servings
1 jar (32 oz) sauerkraut, drained and rinsed
2 medium onions, sliced and separated
2 medium apples, diced
1/2 teaspoon caraway seed
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 bay leaf
2 pounds pork country-style ribs
1. In 12x18-inch baking dish, combine sauerkraut, onions, apples, caraway seed, pepper and bay leaf. Spread mixture evenly in pan. Arrange spareribs in a single layer over sauerkraut mixture. Covery tightly with foil.
2. Bake at 325 F for 1.5 hours. Uncover ribs; bake 30 minutes more or until fork-tender. Discard bay leaf.
The apples take away the bitterness of the sauerkraut. It's quite tasty and easy to fix. It just needs to cook a while.
Cheers,
Scott.
