Description

Imagine a comforting, hearty meal reminiscent of a cozy countryside kitchen. This dish brings together simple, wholesome ingredients in a way that’s both satisfying and deeply flavorful. At its heart are savory pork patties, each one a blend of ground pork, tangy sauerkraut, and a medley of fragrant spices.

The sauerkraut lends a subtle acidity that cuts through the richness of the pork, while the spices add warmth and complexity. These patties are pan-fried to a beautiful golden brown, creating a delightful crispy exterior that gives way to a juicy, tender interior. The aroma alone is enough to make your mouth water.

Accompanying the pork patties is a bed of creamy mashed cauliflower, a lighter alternative to traditional mashed potatoes. The cauliflower is cooked until tender and then mashed to a smooth, velvety consistency. It provides a delicate, slightly sweet counterpoint to the savory pork, creating a balanced and harmonious pairing.

A drizzle of rich, dark brown reduction sauce ties all the elements together. This sauce, made from concentrated stock and seasonings, adds depth and intensity to the dish. Its glossy sheen and complex flavor notes elevate the entire experience, complementing both the pork and the cauliflower.

The sauce seeps into every nook and cranny, adding moisture and a burst of savory goodness. This rustic dish is a celebration of simple pleasures and honest cooking. It’s the kind of meal that warms you from the inside out, leaving you feeling satisfied and content.

The combination of textures – the crispy patties, the creamy cauliflower, and the luscious sauce – creates a symphony in your mouth. Each bite is a journey of flavors, from the tangy sauerkraut to the savory pork to the rich, complex sauce. It’s a meal that’s perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion, a testament to the power of simple ingredients and careful preparation.

Enjoy this delightful combination of flavors and textures, a true celebration of home-style cooking.

Instructions

    1.
    Cut the cauliflower into large florets and place in a pot filled with water. Bring the pot to a boil and cook the cauliflower until it is tender enough to easily pierce with a fork.
    2.
    Drain the cauliflower and mix in a food processor with the butter, salt, and pepper. Set this aside to cool for later.
    3.
    While your cauliflower is boiling, mix the ground pork with the sauerkraut, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, and paprika.
    4.
    Divide the pork mix into 4 portions and press in ½-inch thick patties. Remember, this is a more rustic and loose type of patty, so they don’t have to be perfect like a burger. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and place the patties in the oil.
    5.
    Cook the patties for around 6 minutes per side, adjusting the heat to avoid burning. Cook until both sides have a nice char around the edges. Set the cooked patties aside to rest, leaving any fat in the skillet.
    6.
    Mix together the water and gelatin and set it aside to bloom for 1 minute.
    7.
    Stir garlic into the skillet and return the skillet to a low heat on the stove. Cook until the garlic is fragrant. Then, pour the chicken broth into the skillet.
    8.
    Bring the liquid to a simmer. Remove about 1 TB of liquid and stir it into the gelatin. Return the thickened liquid to the skillet. With the heat on low, stir until the liquid reduces into a glossy dark brown reduction (it may have small bits of sauerkraut in it).
    9.
    Serve 1 patty with about ½ c mashed cauliflower and about 1 TB reduction.
