  • In a saute pan, heat butter and olive oil until butter is melted.

  • Add garlic, then sauerkraut. Lower temp to low simmer.
  • Add salt, pepper, garlic powder, thyme, and brown sugar.
  • Stir well then let it cook for about half hour to 40 minutes at a very low temp. Stir about every 5 to 7 minutes.
  • At the very end of caramelizing the sauerkraut mixture, turn the heat up to medium and let this sit for a few minutes to brown.
  • Scrape into a covered dish or Dutch oven.
  • Next, rub the roast with salt, pepper, ground thyme and garlic powder.
  • Dust with flour.
  • Fry in remaining 3 Tbsp of olive oil on each side until browned.
  • Put on top of kraut.
  • Pour chicken stock into the pan to deglaze the pan. Bring to a boil.
  • Pour over roast.
  • Cover and set in a 325 degree oven for one hour.
  • Remove lid then continue to bake until internal temp is over 170 degrees.
  • Usually takes about 2 hours, but might be less or more depending on the size of roast and if you've got bones.
