Sausages, Smoked Pork, and Apples with Sauerkraut
INGREDIENTS:
(6) Bratwursts or other similarly seasoned fresh link sausages
(2) Cups (16 fl oz) dry white wine
(3) Tablespoons whole-grain Dijon mustard
(6) Boneless center-cut pork chops about 1 lb. total weight
and 1/2 inch thick
Salt and freshly ground pepper
(1) Yellow onion, sliced crosswise about 1/4 inch thick
(1) Tart apple, cored and sliced crosswise about 1/4 inch
thick
(2) Cups drained fresh sauerkraut
(1) Teaspoon caraway seeds
Makes 6 servings.
STEPS:
Prepare grill planks as in instructions.
In a large, deep frying pan over medium heat, combine the
sausages and wine, bring to a simmer, and cook, turning
occasionally, until nearly cooked through, about 5 minutes.
Remove the sausages from the pan and reserve. Raise the
heat to high, bring the wine to a boil, then simmer until
reduced by about one-third, about 5 minutes. Stir in the
mustard and remove from the heat. Reserve the sauce in the
pan. Season the pork chops with salt and pepper. Prepare
a charcoal or gas grill. Place the sausages and pork chops
on the planks, turning once or twice, until the sausages
are no longer pink and the pork chops are barely pink at
the center, 6 to 9 minutes total or until done to your liking.
Brush the onion and apple slices with about 2 tablespoons
of the wine sauce. Place them at the edges of the planks
and cook, turning once or twice, until softened and lightly
charred, about 5 minutes total. Stir the sauerkraut, caraway
seeds, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper into the wine sauce in the
frying pan. Cut the grilled onion and apple slices into
chunks and stir them into the sauerkraut. Add the sausages
and pork chops, pushing them into the sauerkraut. Simmer
on the stove top over medium-low heat until heated through,
5 to 7 minutes. Serve directly from the pan, or spoon onto
a platter for serving.
