Number Of Ingredients 4

1 rack pork spareribs cut into 2-rib portions
salt and pepper to taste
4 red potatoes, quartered
1 (16 ounce) jar sauerkraut, drained

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Coat a 9x13 inch baking dish with cooking spray. Season the ribs with salt and pepper, and arrange them in the greased baking dish.
  • Roast for 20 to 25 minutes in the preheated oven. Remove from the oven, and reduce the temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  • Bake for 30 minutes in the preheated oven. Carefully remove the foil to avoid hot steam, and serve.

OKTOBERFEST KRAUT, SAUSAGE/SPARERIBS AND POTATOES



Oktoberfest Kraut, Sausage/Spareribs and Potatoes image

My dear husband has evolved this recipe over the years. He almost always makes it, but the other day he wrote it down since he was going to be home late and we had guests coming for dinner to have this very dish. I decided it needed to be shared since we have so many requests for it and after all, it's amost Oktoberfest time. We eat it at least twice monthly, and simply vary it a bit with the meat. This can also be made in the crockpot and cooked at least 4 hours on high and 4 hours on low. You may have to experiment since crockpots are different.

Time 4h20m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 lb sausage, of your choice or 1 lb spareribs
1 lb high quality beef hot dogs or 1 lb hot dog
1 quart sauerkraut
1 large sweet onion, coarsely diced
1 (12 ounce) can beer (not light)
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 (4 ounce) container apples, cauce diced or 1 small apple, diced
2 large russet potatoes, peeled and chunked
pepper
caraway seed (optional)
1 teaspoon minced garlic (optional)

Steps:

  • In a 5-6 quart heavy Dutch oven, add 1 tablespoon olive oil.
  • Brown sausages or ribs.
  • While they are browning, drain and rinse kraut at least twice to remove the excess salt.
  • Chop onion.
  • When sausages/ribs are browned, place them aside on Dutch oven lid.
  • FILL POT: Handful of kraut, add wieners, fil in with onions, add more kraut, add sausages, fill with remaining onion, and add last of kraut, all in layers.
  • Add contents of beer and 2 tablespoons brown sugar. The alcohol cooks away so don't worry, it does add a great deal to this recipe.
  • Add applesauce.
  • Add water to surface of kraut.
  • Liberally apply black pepper.
  • Add potatoes.
  • Bring to boil, cover tightly and simmer 3-4 hours (don't shorten the time, this is critical), checking periodically so it doesn't dry out.
  • Serve with sour cream or plain yogurt and a high quality mustard. I prefer Country Dijon or German, my DH prefers yellow. Either way, enjoy, my friends!
