|description=Pork chops with sauerkraut
}}
[[Pork chops]] with [[Sauerkraut|sauerkraut]]. The use of [[Paprika|paprika]] is reflective of Austria's prior links with Hungary.

When I cooked and tested the [[Schweinekotelett auf Sauerkraut|original authentic recipe for this dish]], I made a few changes to it which, to my mind, improved it's look and taste.

If you wish to make the original, [[Talk:Schweinekotelett auf Sauerkraut|it has been preserved here]]. If you wish to make my version, it is below, or of course, read both and make a composite of both.

I halved the amount of [[Sauerkraut|sauerkraut]] (which was still the contents of a densely packed medium to large jar). Even with the quantity halved, there was more than enough to serve four people.

The dish was very good, but still overpowered by the vinegary flavour of the sauerkraut. I have removed the initial stage of simmering the sauerkraut in stock as it does not require cooking anyway and this will lessen the vinegar permeation.

I have added an extra [[sweet red pepper]], red, for extra flavour and taste. To balance the vinegar, I have added a teaspoon of sugar and just to spice it up a little, a shake of chilli flakes. In all, a success. I will definitely be cooking with sauerkraut again

===Variations===
Other variations can be found on the [[Talk:Schweinekotelett auf Sauerkraut|comments]] page.
===Chef's notes===
If you do not have a [[Casserole|casserole]] that will take direct heat, use a saucepan and when ready to serve transfer the contents to a preheated [[Casserole dish|casserole dish]]. I have found that the glass Pyrex casserole dishes can take direct heat, but you must heat them gently. I heated one too quickly a few years ago and it shattered, resulting in its contents making a lovely mess all over the hob and the floor.
