Ingredients

  • 1 can (16 ounces) sauerkraut, undrained
  • 1 cup thinly sliced carrots
  • 3/4 cup chopped onion
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/4 cup uncooked barley
  • 6 pork loin or rib chops, 3/4 inch thick
  • 1/2 cup prepared barbecue sauce

Preparation

Step 1

1 Heat oven to 350ºF. In ungreased 2-quart casserole or 11x7-inch glass baking dish, mix sauerkraut, carrots, onion, water and barley.
2 Place pork chops on sauerkraut mixture. Spoon barbecue sauce on top of chops. Cover and bake 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hours or until pork is no longer pink in center.


TIPS

Barley is one of the first grains ever cultivated. Pearl barley, the most common variety, has the hull, most of the bran and some of the germ removed to shorten cooking time. Barley is available in both regular and quick-cooking varieties. For this recipe, use regular and not the quick-cooking variety.
