Sounds like a tasty sweet and sour braise to me. Brown the ribs and
remove from the pot. Saute the onions and cabbage, add cider vinegar,
apples, salt, pepper, sugar (maybe brown sugar), caraway seeds, water or
stock, and the ribs. Simmer until ribs are tender.

Some chicken stock(depends on quantities cooked 1/2 cup-1 cup), maybe a
little red wine vinegar or some brown suger (can go either way)....Brown
up the ribs in a Dutch Oven remove them...cook the onions a bit. chuck
everything in the DO, stir it up and put on the lid...The oil of choice
for the Browning is Bacon Drippings. Cook for about 1.5 hours at 300F. Oh
don't be afraid to add quantities of pepper.

Brown the ribs and lay them on a bed of kraut to which you've added some
caraway seeds and apple chunks, and chopped onion (could brown the onion
first, before browning the ribs). Grind some black pepper on top,
cover, and bake at 325 for an hour and a half or so. Should be good.
You could put some peeled, red-skin potatoes in there, too, if you want
to.

Don't need a recipe. Made some last week.

1. Rough chop 1 head of cabbage, 1 large onion, 2 cooking apple.
2. Mix with 1 large bag or jar of sauerkraut and caraway seeds to taste.
3. layer the mixture in a shallow baking pan large (long) enough to hold
2 racks of ribs.
4. Salt and pepper 2 racks of ribs and cover the cabbage mixture with the
ribs bone side down.
5. add 3 rows of red potatoes (halved if you like 1 row down each side
and 1 row in the middle.
6. Add 1 1/2 cups of chardonnay or any white wine you like.

7. Pop into a 350 degree oven loosely covered with foil. After 1 hour
remove the foil and bake for about 1/2 our more. checking the liquid
occasionally.

Thanks everyone for the replies! I'm off to cooking!

I would agree, but please don't waste this on babyback ribs. Spare
ribs, or even what we down here would call "country style ribs" (which
aren't ribs at all) would be more appropriate for this dish. The
babybacks are too nice and too expensive to be buried in all of these
flavors, IMHO.

Do they like cabbage? I have made ribs with shredded cabbage in place of
the kraut.

Country style ribs are my favorite for oven roasting with kraut or cabbage.

Grease a large covered baking dish and set aside. Cut cabbage in quarters
and remove core. Slice cabbage in a combination of 1/8 and 1/4 inch widths
and separate into shreds. Peel and dice the apple and a small to medium
onion in 1/4 inch dice. In a large bowl, combine cabbage, apple, and
onion. Add salt and freshly ground pepper to taste. Add 1-2 tablespoons
brown sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon sweet paprika. You might want to add a
sprinkling of caraway seed if you like it. Mix cabbage mixture thoroughly
and spread in baking dish. Season ribs lightly with salt, pepper, and
garlic powder. Arrange ribs over cabbage. Pour 1 cup dry white wine over
all and bake, covered, in a 325 degree F. oven for about 2 hours. You may
want to turn ribs and stir cabbage mixture about half way through cooking.
The ribs should be "falling apart" tender and the cabbage tawny colored.
Serve with buttery mashed potatoes. I usually serve a salad of cucumbers
and onion in sour cream.

Enjoy!

Wow, thanks! That looks very easy!

Should the dish be shallow or deep? The only covered dishes
I have are a small covered roaster, a large oval corning
ware and a cast iron dutch oven... which one should I pick?

For cooking kraut it's a no-brainer, choose non-reactive... I'd go with the
corningware. I have a porcelainized covered oval roaster (doesn't everyone) I
use for that dish. I much prefer using well trimmed country style ribs with
kraut... baby backs contain little meat. This is one of those dishes that I
first oven brown the ribs and drain off the fat before doing the kraut thing...
otherwise the kraut ends up so swimming in grease as to be inedible... the
browned ribs are far more flavorful as well.

Hope I'm not too late... Any of the 3 you have would work fine, but I
would probably pick the Corning Ware. Depending on how much I'm making, I
use either a covered Pyrex or a covered Corning Ware. Somehow, I think the
weight of the dish is important. Is the cast iron enamelled or plain? I
have use a Le Creuset covered oven for this as well. I wouldn't use plain
cast iron. It would probably turn the cabbage dark.

OK, Corning Ware it is. My Dutch oven is the old fashioned
non-enamelled kind (I would never dream of calling Le Cruset
"cast iron"😉.

One final question: Have you ever used beer instead of
wine? I have plenty of white wine to use, but I'm curious.
It seems that beer would have been fine for craut, just
wondering about plain cabbage.

I'm sure beer would work fine, but I have a personal preference for wine
with pork. I don't like pork cooked with beer, although I would definitely
use it if I were making beef short ribs with cabbage. That's another
wonderful dish! I think beef and beer have more of an affinity.

Report: It was absolutely delicious!

I started dinner later than I wanted, so I browned the
"ribs" in a pan. The amount of cabbage was unbelievable
(and I only used 3/4 of a sm/med sized cabbage), so I got
that started cooking down in a 17 qt. stock pan. When it
was reduced by 1/2, I put it into an oval pyrex that's
bigger than my Corning Ware and everything barely fit in. I
covered it with foil and made sure the liquid didn't
evaporate completely.

In the end, the pork was perfectly done as was the cabbage.

I loved the flavor of the cabbage (I'm not fond of plain
cooked cabbage), but everyone else thought it was too sweet
(I only put in 1T of brown sugar), so next time I make it
I'll put in less sugar.

That recipe is a keeper and I will definately make it again.

Many Thanks!

A good way of accelerating the dish! Lots of raw cabbage, yes. I forgot
to mention that, and how much it cooks down

The amount of sugar can vary a lot for two reasons; personal taste, and the
sweetness of the cabbage. Some cabbage is very sweet and some not at all.

Since I didn't have any beer (sometimes a grown "kid" drinks
1/2 a bottle and leaves it out on the counter), so I took
your advice and went with what I had lots of - white wine.
LOL! I'm never (well, hardly ever) w/o it.
