PORK CHOPS WITH BEER SAUERKRAUT
This is the smell of Cleveland in late fall. Show up at the Municipal Parking Lot to tailgate before any home football game and you'll see a million variations on the theme of pork, kraut, and beer. The hoppy beer-I like Commodore Perry IPA from Great Lakes Brewing- deglazes the pan and makes a great sauce for the chops. Go Browns!

Steps:
- Combine the paprika, coriander, 1 teaspoon salt and black pepper to taste in a small bowl. Season both sides of the pork with this spice mixture.
- Add the oil to the preheated skillet. Add the pork in a single layer in the pan. Cook, without moving, until lightly golden brown, about 1 minute. Flip the meat and scoot to the outer edges of the pan. To the open space in the middle, add the onions and a pinch of salt. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring the onions occasionally.
- Add the sauerkraut and continue cooking until the onions have softened and the sauerkraut turns golden brown, about 1 1/2 minutes. Add the beer and deglaze the pan, scraping with a wooden spoon to get up the browned bits on the bottom of the pan. Cook until the sauce reduces slightly, about 30 seconds.
- Remove from the heat and stir in the parsley. Serve the pork chops topped with the sauerkraut mixture, any accumulated juices and mustard.

PORK CHOPS BAKED IN PEAR SAUERKRAUT
Served with mashed potatoes, this meal reminds me of time I spent in Germany. A real German hausfrau would cook up an apple in her sauerkraut, but using baby food is a real time-saver and still softens the flavor of the sauerkraut and makes it delicious.

PORK CHOPS AND SAUERKRAUT
My mother learned to make this dish when she was a young girl in Germany. Typically, we'd eat it with plain boiled potatoes, but for a treat, she'd serve it with steamed dumplings. Whenever I cook this, the wonderful aroma brings back many warm memories. -Erika Taylor, Hopedale, Massachusetts

Steps:
- In a heavy saucepan cook the bacon over moderate heat, stirring, until it is crisp, add the onion, and the caraway seeds, and cook the mixture, stirring, until the onion is golden. Add the sauerkraut and the apple juice and simmer the mixture, covered, for 20 minutes.
- While the sauerkraut mixture is the simmering, sprinkle both sides of the chops with salt, let the chops stand between layers of paper towel for 10 minutes, and season them with pepper. In a heavy skillet heat the oil over moderately high heat until it is hot but not smoking and in it sauté the chops for 5 to 6 minutes on each side, or until they are just cooked through. Stir 1 tablespoon of the dill into the sauerkraut mixture and transfer the mixture to a heated platter. Top the sauerkraut mixture with the chops and sprinkle the chops with the remaining 1 tablespoon dill.
Tips:
- Choose the Right Pork Chops: Select high-quality pork chops that are at least 1 inch thick for a juicy and flavorful result.
- Brown the Chops: Before baking, brown the pork chops in a skillet to create a delicious crust and lock in the juices.
- Enhance Flavor with Brine: Consider brining the pork chops overnight in a mixture of water, salt, and sugar to add extra flavor and tenderness.
- Use a Dutch Oven or Baking Dish: Choose a pot large enough to hold the pork chops in a single layer. A Dutch oven or a baking dish with a lid is ideal.
- Layer the Ingredients: Arrange the pork chops on top of the sauerkraut and pears, creating a flavorful and visually appealing dish.
- Add Liquid: Pour in enough liquid, such as broth or a mixture of water and white wine, to prevent the pork chops from drying out during baking.
- Cover and Bake: Cover the pot or baking dish and bake in a preheated oven until the pork chops are cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
- Rest the Meat: Once the pork chops are cooked, let them rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and succulent chop.
