Pork Chops with Sauerkraut & Dumplings

Picture
4 thick cut pork chops
1 cup milk
3/4 cup flour
1/2 cup saltine crackers crushed
1 t garlic powder
1/2 t paprika
1/2 t salt
1/2 t pepper

1 jar of your favorite Salt & Savour Sauerkraut  http://www.saltandsavour.com/

Dumplings
1 cup of flour
1/4 cup lard
1/4 t salt
2 t baking powder
1/2 plus 2 T milk

Rinse chops and pat dry.  Place chops in milk.  Mix all dry ingredients together in a bowl or bag. Preheat dutch oven on medium heat on the stove. Coat chops with flour and cracker mixture.  Dip again in milk and repeat coating with flour mixture.   Place chops in dutch oven and cook about 5-6 minutes, then turn them over.   Add sauerkraut right on top of chops.  While cooking, make your dumplings as follows:

Mix flour, salt and baking powder.  Add lard and cut in until it looks pretty crumbled.  Stir in the milk.  You want it wet, so add more milk if you need to.  Once it is mixed well, drop by the spoonful onto the sauerkraut.  Cover everything with water and cook until dumplings are done.   About 10-15 minutes or so.

Egg Rolls
One medium sized cabbage, shredded
One pound of ground meat (your choice we use sausage)
Green onions and other veggies of your choice
Two packages of egg roll wrappers
Oil for frying, deep is best
Brown and season ground meat according to your taste, maybe, salt, pepper, ginger, asian spices.  While it is cooking make sure it is in fine bits, like taco meat.  Shred your cabbage and chop your veggies, then mix them together in a nice sized bowl. DO NOT COOK THE VEGETABLES.  After meat is cooked, add the meat.  Roll your egg rolls according to the directions on the wrapper, like a little burrito.   Fry in hot oil, turning once.  This cooks really quick!  Makes 42 eggrolls.
