Servings: persons

1 medium yellow onion, halved and thinly sliced
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
2 pounds prepared or homemade sauerkraut, drained and excess liquid squeezed out
2 teaspoons caraway seeds
10 black peppercorns
5 juniper berries
1 pound Yukon Gold potatoes, scrubbed and cut into roughly 1-1/2-inch chunks
2 pounds boneless country pork spareribs, cut crosswise into 3-inch pieces
12 ounces cooked kielbasa, cut crosswise into 3-inch pieces
1/2 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup white wine
Dijon or whole-grain mustard, for serving

1
Place the onion in a large bowl, season with salt and pepper, toss to coat, and place in the slow cooker.
2
Place the sauerkraut and caraway seeds in the bowl, season with ground pepper, toss to combine, and lay evenly over the onions.
3
Place the peppercorns and juniper berries in a 5-by-5-inch piece of cheesecloth, tie tightly with butcher's twine, and tuck the packet into the sauerkraut.
4
Place the potatoes in the bowl, season generously with salt and pepper, toss to coat, and place in an even layer over the sauerkraut.
5
Generously season the spareribs all over with salt and pepper. Arrange the spareribs and kielbasa over the potatoes in an even layer.
6
Pour the chicken broth and wine into the slow cooker. Cover and cook on low heat until the spareribs are fork tender and almost falling apart, about 6 to 8 hours.
7
Remove and discard the cheesecloth with the spices. Arrange the meats, potatoes, sauerkraut, and onions on a serving platter and drizzle with any remaining juices. Serve with mustard.
