Reviews
This recipe is absolutely delicious and very easy to make. The only thing that I did differently was that I put my onions sliced in rings over the top of the saurkraut. I served it over steamed jasmine rice. This is a new household favorite. Thanks for sharing.
I made this exactly as the recipe says except I didn’t have caraway seeds. This was so good I couldn’t believe it! My husband went back for 2nd and 3rds!
I thought that it was absolutely delicious. I did caramelize the onion and also cut down on the caraway seeds a bit as I didn’t want them to over power the flavor and I’m glad that I did. However, that’s just a personal preference for each to decide. My partner thought it was fantastic also!
Followed the directions as stated; however, I added some garlic and bite size potatoes to the recipe. A very easy recipe and it was delicious. I’d like to try adding dicd carrots next time. I’m making this again on Saturday.
I and my other half really enjoyed this recipe. I didn’t have any caraway seeds so I left them out; however it still have the right touch of sweetness and flavor! I followed the recipe but added touch of Montreal Chicken spice with the salt and pepper before browning the chops. This recipe is a keeper. Thank you
