Description

Experience the warmth of a cozy kitchen with this tender German Loin Roast, perfectly paired with tangy sauerkraut. A delightful dish that transforms any meal into a memorable feast.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 boneless pork loin (34 pounds)
  • 1 can (24 oz) high-quality sauerkraut, drained
  • 1 large onion, thinly sliced
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tsp caraway seeds
  • 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Season the pork loin generously with salt and pepper, then rub minced garlic over it for added flavor. Place the pork loin in a roasting pan.
  3. Layer the sauerkraut evenly around the pork loin in the roasting pan.
  4. Add sliced onions and sprinkle caraway seeds over all ingredients. Pour chicken broth around the base of the pork.
  5. Cover the roasting pan tightly with foil and place it in the preheated oven.
  6. Roast for about 2 hours or until the internal temperature reaches at least 145°F (63°C). For crispy edges, remove foil during the last 30 minutes.
  7. Once done, remove from oven and let it rest for about 15 minutes before slicing.
  8. Slice your perfectly cooked pork loin and serve alongside sauerkraut, drizzling some savory broth over each serving.
