Ingredients

3 tablespoons butter
1 1/4 pounds (total) smoked pork chops and precooked assorted sausages (such as bratwurst and chicken-apple)
1 large onion, coarsely chopped
2 large firm pears, cored, thickly sliced
1 pound sauerkraut, rinsed, drained
1 cup dry white wine
1/8 teaspoon ground allspice
Freshly ground black pepper

Preparation

  1. Melt butter in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add meats; cook until brown, about 1 minute per side. Add onion; sauté until brown, about 5 minutes. Add pears; sauté until tender, about 5 minutes. Using tongs, transfer meats to plate. Add sauerkraut, wine, and allspice to skillet, stirring to scrape up browned bits.
