Keto Zuurkool Stamppot with Pork

Ingredients

• 2 cups Sauerkraut
• 1 lb Cauliflower Florets
• 4 Pork Chops
• 4 slices Bacon
• 1 Onion, chopped
• 2 tbsp Butter
• 1/4 cup Heavy Cream
• 1/2 tsp Salt
• 1/4 tsp Pepper
• 1/2 tsp Caraway Seeds

Instructions

1. 1Place a 12-inch skillet over medium heat (300-325°F / 150-163°C). Add the 4 slices of bacon and cook for 8-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until crispy and golden brown. Remove the cooked bacon from the skillet, place it on a plate lined with paper towels to drain, and set aside; reserve the rendered bacon fat in the skillet.
2. 2Increase the heat under the same 12-inch skillet to medium-high (350-375°F / 175-190°C). Season the 4 pork chops evenly with the 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper. Place the seasoned pork chops in the hot bacon fat and sear for 4-6 minutes per side, until well-browned and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of a chop registers 145°F (63°C). Remove the cooked pork chops from the skillet and set them aside on a plate to rest.
3. 3While the pork chops are cooking, steam or boil the 1 lb cauliflower florets in a large pot of lightly salted water for 10-15 minutes, until very tender when pierced easily with a fork. Drain the cooked cauliflower thoroughly and set aside.
4. 4Reduce the heat under the 12-inch skillet to medium (300-325°F / 150-163°C). Add the 1 chopped onion to the skillet with any remaining bacon fat and sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent.
5. 5In a large mixing bowl, combine the thoroughly drained 2 cups of sauerkraut, the cooked 1 lb cauliflower florets, the sautéed 1 chopped onion, the 2 tbsp butter, and the 1/4 cup heavy cream. Using a potato masher or a sturdy fork, mash the mixture until it reaches your desired consistency, from chunky to smoother.
6. 6Crumble the reserved crispy 4 slices of bacon into small pieces. Stir the 1/2 tsp caraway seeds and the crumbled bacon into the mashed sauerkraut mixture until well combined.
7. 7Divide the finished Keto Zuurkool Stamppot among four plates. Top each serving with one of the rested 4 pork chops and serve immediately.
