Pork and sauerkraut with carrots and potatoes
Pork and sauerkraut is a German dish traditionally served with potatoes. It's commonly served on New Year's Day in Germany and also in Pennsylvania, where many Germans immigrated in the 1600s-1800s.While red meats are often fatty and pricey, pork loin is relatively lean and inexpensive. Pork is delicious with sauerkraut, which is fermented cabbage that provides a salty flavor and keeps the pork juicy. We added some carrots for extra fiber for digestion, vitamin A for eye health, and many other micronutrients.For more texture variety, you can also use a microwavable baked potato to eat separately or put the pork and sauerkraut on top.
