Category: Roasts/Tenderloins - Pork
    Prep Time:       Cook Time:       Total Time:  

1 boneless pork shoulder roast, 4 to 5 lb. (I have the butcher to have trim and tie the shoulder.)
Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
2 tbsp unsalted butter
2 tbsp canola oil
1 yellow onion, thinly sliced
3 Golden Delicious apples, peeled, halved and cored
1 tbsp fresh thyme
1/2 cup dry white wine, such as Chardonnay
2 lb sauerkraut, squeezed dry
1/4 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar
1 tbsp caraway seeds

Lay the pork flat, boned side up, on a cutting board. Using a sharp knife, trim away any large pockets of fat. Starting at the thinner end of the meat, roll up the pork and securely tie the roll at regular intervals with kitchen twine. Season the pork generously with salt and pepper.

In a fry pan over medium-high heat, melt the butter with the canola oil. Add the pork and cook, turning frequently, until browned on all sides, about 10 minutes. Transfer the pork to a platter.

Return the pan to medium-high heat, add the onion, apples and thyme, and saute until the onion and apples are lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Transfer the apple mixture to a bowl.

Pour off the fat from the pan. Return the pan to medium-high heat, add the wine and deglaze the pan, stirring with a wooden spoon to scrape up the browned bits from the pan bottom.

Oven method: Preheat an oven to 325. Cover the bottom of a large Dutch oven with the sauerkraut. Sprinkle with the brown sugar and caraway seeds. Place the pork on top and surround with the apple mixture. Pour in the wine mixture. Cover, transfer to the oven and cook until the pork is fork-tender and shreds easily, 4 to 5 hours.

Crock Pot method: Cover the bottom of a slow cooker with the sauerkraut. Sprinkle with the brown sugar and caraway seeds. Place the pork on top and surround with the apple mixture. Pour in the wine mixture. Cover and cook on low according to the manufacturer's instructions until the pork is fork-tender and shreds easily, 8 to 10 hours.

Transfer the pork to a carving board. Using a sharp knife, cut the pork crosswise into slices about 1/2 inch thick, removing the twine as you slice. Place the sauerkraut on a large platter and top with the pork slices. Surround with the apples and serve immediately. Serves 4 to 6.
