Pork Loin With Sauerkraut

Originally posted by Denise Fowler Panter

I originally posted this on the SCP wall, before I realized this was the best forum for recipes. This is a family favorite, found in one of my Weight Watcher's cookbooks.

Pork Loin with Sauerkraut

1 1½-pound boneless pork tenderloin roast (trimmed of excess fat)
1/8 tsp salt
½ tsp freshly ground pepper
1 tsp canola oil
1 2-pound package of sauerkraut, rinsed and drained
1 small yellow onion, chopped
1 Granny Smith apple, cored and chopped
2 tsp caraway seeds
½ c. apple juice, no sugar added

Sprinkle the pork with the salt and pepper. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add pork and brown about six minutes.

Place sauerkraut, onion, apple, and caraway seeds in the slow cooker; stir to mix. Place the pork on top of the mix, then pour apple juice over all. Cover and cook until pork is fork tender – 4-5 hours on high or 8-10 hours on low.

Transfer pork to a platter and cut into 6-8 slices. Spoon sauerkraut mix around pork.

Rinsing the sauerkraut drastically reduces its sodium content.

Here's the nutrition info directly from the WW recipe:

Makes 6 servings. Per serving (1 slice pork and 3/4 cup sauerkraut mixture): 193 Cal, 5 g Fat, 2 g Sat Fat, 67 mg Chol, 700 mg Sod, 11 g Carb, 4 g Fib, 25 g Prot, 51 mg Calc. Points: 3

The original recipe, however, called for light beer instead of diet ginger ale or apple juice, so the numbers may be slightly off. Hope that helps.

delicious!!! I had to make a couple of substitutes, but no biggie. I used cumin in place of caraway seeds, and I used a gala apple. This was a great meal!
