Oven Braised Pork with Sour Cream

By  Sue Lau | Palatable Pastime

Oven Braised Pork with Sour Cream is my  recipe of the day with my  group  Baking Bloggers. We get together once per  month on the  second  Monday to bake up something delicious. This month we are baking  Polish recipes,  sweet or savory.

Karkówka w śmietanie

I decided to do  some pork with a kind of sour cream sauce I remember from a long time ago although I am not sure when I had it. The  concept seems similar to Karkówka w śmietanie, which  is a Polish braised  pork steak in sour cream.

Karkówka stands for pork steak, and śmietanie is about the sour cream.

There is a type of pork  chop recipe with sour cream and capers done by Craig Claiborne in the past. So this gives a nod to that as well.

Choice of Pork Cut

I did want to use the pork  shoulder as it is less prone to drying out with a long  cooking time. If you can’t find the pork steaks, you might be able to locate some  country style ribs, which are the same thing,  only  thicker. They are all sliced off the pork shoulder roast, which loves to be braised and cooked for a long time.

I chose to cook this in the Le Creuset braiser.  If you don’t have that you  might find an oven safe  pot with which you can also cook on the stove with. It will need to be covered while it bakes as well.
