Today’s recipe comes from an old cookbook called Crockery Cookery by Mabel Hoffman. The
name rathskeller refers to a German bar or restaurant selling beer. I could
easily imagine this dish being one served in a traditional German setting. I’ve
made some adjustments, as usual, to not only include ingredients I had on hand,
but to make it lighter and brighter. Use my homemade cream of asparagus soup recipe
for the best flavor, color and texture.
Slow Cooker Rathskeller Pork
1 t. vegetable oil
4 bone-in pork chops
Garlic salt and pepper
2 cups cream of asparagus soup (preferably fresh but you can
substitute one can)
4 green onions, white and green parts chopped
1 T. finely chopped fresh dill weed
4 small potatoes, thinly sliced
½ head of green or Napa (Chinese) cabbage, thinly sliced or
shredded
1/3 cup heavy cream
Sprinkle pork chops on both sides with garlic salt and
pepper. Brown pork chops in oil (do this in your slow cooker if it has a high
setting or in a skillet if not). Make two layers of the pork chops, potatoes, green
onions, dill and cabbage. Pour cream of asparagus soup over all. Cover and cook
on low 5 – 6 hours. A half hour before serving, add the cream and increase heat
to high. Leave uncovered and cook for an additional half hour.
Serves 4
