Greetings. This recipe for boneless pork is tasty without adding a lot of seasonings because the pancetta, sausage, and sauerkraut are already well-seasoned. The optional ingredients can be served as condiments in tiny dishes on the table for diners to help themselves as they wish. This will serve 2-3, and can easily be doubled. Roasted white and sweet potatoes go well with this dish.

Pork Loin Skillet Dinner

½ tablespoon olive oil

¼ lb. pancetta in ¼-inch dice (or bacon 

         in ½-inch pieces)

¼ lb. smoked pork sausage, sliced in ¼-inch rounds

¼ cup chicken stock or water

1 small onion, sliced thinly

1 medium apple, roughly chopped

1½ cups sauerkraut, well drained

3 boneless pork loin chops (approx. 1 lb.)

Optional serving ideas: crushed caraway seeds, mustard, horseradish

Heat olive oil in large skillet over medium-high heat.

Add pancetta and sausage. When pancetta and sausage begin to brown, add onion. Reduce heat to medium-low, and continue to cook until onion softens a bit.

Stir in chicken stock, apple and sauerkraut. Cover and cook for a few minutes.

Push skillet contents to sides of pan, and add pork to pan. Cover chops with pan ingredients. Bring to a simmer.

Reduce heat to very low, and continue to cook for about 40 minutes.
