What in the world is Choucroute? According to Merriam-Webster.com it is a French, modification of German Sauerkraut – it is sauerkraut cooked and served with meat. Our family likes both – Score! I came across this recipe trying to find something to make out of the pork chops I had bought in bulk (package of 10). It was time to change-up the regular – grill & serve. The recipe is below. It is very yummy but don’t take my word for it. You will have to try it and let me know what you think.
