How to Make Country Style Pork And Sauerkraut

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Season pork ribs generously with onion powder and black pepper.
Heat vegetable oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the ribs on all sides for about 5-7 minutes.
In a large bowl, combine the drained sauerkraut, apple juice, brown sugar, caraway seeds, and Dijon mustard.
Pour the sauerkraut mixture over the browned ribs in the skillet.
Cover the skillet tightly with a lid or aluminum foil.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 1 ½ to 2 hours, or until the pork is fork-tender and easily falls off the bone.
Serve hot. Optionally, garnish with fresh parsley or a sprinkle of caraway seeds.
