6. - 1 lb (450g) pork shoulder, cut into bite-sized pieces
7. - 2 cups of sauerkraut
8. - 3 cloves garlic, minced

16. #### Instructions:
18. 1. **Prepare the Pork:**
19. - Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the pork pieces in a large baking dish.
21. 2. **Cook Aromatics:**
22. - In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and chopped onion, sautéing until they are soft and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
24. 3. **Add Pork and Seasonings:**
25. - Transfer the pork pieces from the baking dish to the skillet with the aromatics.
26. - Sprinkle salt, black pepper, and bay leaf over the pork and mix well to ensure even distribution of flavors.
28. 4. **Combine and Bake:**
29. - Pour the sauerkraut into the baking dish or directly into a casserole dish if you prefer not to use your skillet.
30. - Arrange the pork pieces on top of the sauerkraut, ensuring they are well-coated with the mixture from the skillet.
31. - If using beef broth, pour it over the top to add extra moisture and flavor.
33. 5. **Bake:**
34. - Cover the dish loosely with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for about 1 hour to an hour and a half, or until the pork is tender and fully cooked.
35. - Uncover the dish for the last 20 minutes of baking to allow the flavors to meld together.
37. 6. **Serve:**
38. - Remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
39. - Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or chives if desired.
41. #### Tips:
42. - For an extra layer of flavor, add a tablespoon of brown sugar or honey to the pork mixture.
43. - You can also use a slow cooker instead of baking. Place all ingredients into the slow cooker and cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours.
44. - Leftovers make great sandwiches! Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
