We decided to test out the new Bradley smoker I bought for Christmas. What better then a belated New Year's meal?  Applewood smoked Pork Loin, Homemade creamy mashed redskin potatoes and Sauerkraut dressed up in the pressure cooker with apples, onion and Sam Adams Winter Lager.

I rubbed the pork with a homemade rub of sea salt, garlic powder, brown sugar, dry mustard, chili powder, paprika, cumin, ginger, coriander,  and black Pepper. Rub down the pork with a mix of applecider vinegar and worcestershire, followed with the dry rub ingredients, wrap in saran wrap and let it soak it up for about an hour then smoked with the apple wood briquettes at 230 for 3 hours. (its pretty cold out here today so the smoker was actually holding at about 215-220). Rested for about 10 minutes....tender and full of flavor!

The kraut was something i threw together on a whim and it prefectly complemented the pork! Using the brown setting on the pressure cooker melt about 2 tbsp butter, add minced onion,  cook til tender, add julienned apples, saute appx 2 minutes, add a bottle of Sam Adams Winter Lager, a little pepper to season and pressure cook on High for 1 minute. Quick release and let cool for 5 minutes before serving. If its too sweet(it was for me) add a little apple cider vinegar and reserved juice from the sauerkraut then cook on warm for 2 minutes. Perfect sweet and sour blend!

No pics didn't happen. Sounds yummy though. Welcome to the forum AC.
I like to walk threw life on the path of least resistance. But sometimes the path needs a good kick in the ass.

Please call me "Q" and you know it was done right when it is still juicy the next day.
