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:
- To tenderize the pork chops, consider using a meat mallet or tenderizing tool. This will help break down the fibers and make the meat more tender.
- For a crispier crust on your pork chops, sear them over high heat before reducing the temperature to finish cooking.
- If you don't have any sauerkraut on hand, you can substitute with another fermented vegetable, such as kimchi or pickled cabbage.
- You can also add other vegetables to this dish, such as carrots, celery, or onions.
- Serve the pork chops with mashed potatoes, spaetzle, or your favorite side dish.
