Steps:
- Pierce the casings of knockwurst and arrange in medium skillet. Add 1 inch of water, bring to a simmer and warm wursts through. Remove from the pan. Drain the skillet and add butter. Melt butter over medium heat. Cut each knockwurst into 1/3 and add back to the pan to crisp casings. Add sauerkraut to the pan, sprinkle in caraway, add bay leaf and peppercorns. Pour the beer into the skillet. When the beer comes to a bubble reduce heat to simmer.
- Heat a second skillet over medium high. Add oil, 1 turn of the pan and add chopped bacon. When the bacon renders its fat, add onions and saute 3 to 5 minutes, then add sliced apples and saute mixture another 2 or 3 minutes. Add smoked chops to the pan and caramelize meat on both sides, 2 or 3 minutes. Remove chops to a plate and loosely cover with foil. Pour the beer into the pan and reduce heat to a simmer.
- When you are ready to serve, cut several slices of pumpernickel in half down the middle. Place a bowl of spicy mustard alongside the pumpernickel bread for passing at the table.
- Place 2 or 3 chunks of the knockwurst on each dinner plate on a bed of spiced sauerkraut. Serve 3 pieces of smoked pork chops topped with bacon, apples and onions. Place deli style large dill or half sour pickles, German cheeses and pretzels out for an evening of uber snacking!

Steps:
- 1. Look in my personal notes for the rest of the ingredients.
- 2. Mix everything together and marinate
- 3. Place an oven safe skillet in the oven and preheat them together at 400 degrees. While your oven and pan are preheating let the meat rest on the counter. When your oven is preheated carefully remove the pan and place it on the stove be sure to have your burner on high. Place the chops in the pan and sear them for 3 minutes and turn them. Immediately place chops and pan back in the oven and cook minutes 15-20 or until they are no longer pink. When they are finished in the oven place them on a plate and cover with a TeePee of aluminium foil to rest for the longest 8 minutes of your life...enjoy
KNOCK YOUR SOCKS OFF PORK CHOPS
A pretty simple combination of flavors that explodes in your mouth. Use the best vinegar and fresh rosemary whenever possible. Generally I like to eyeball my measurements, so adjust the amount to your taste. This is my standby for romantic dinners and has always had great success ;)

Steps:
- coarsely chop garlic.
- in a shallow dish, combine the garlic and olive oil.
- Using a pestle, crush the garlic in the oil, allowing the flavors to mesh. Of course, if you're a normal person like me and don't own a pestle, any instrument with a blunt end will work, such as the base of a glass or back of a spoon. I use a shot-glass.
- Add the rosemary and vinegar to the oil-garlic mix.
- Rub the pork chops with a little salt, then add them to the marinade, being sure to coat them well. Cover and refrigerate for one hour.
- Place the meat in a skillet on medium-low heat, pouring any remaining marinade on top. Cook for about ten minutes, then turn and cook for another five minutes or until done.

Tips:
- Use thick pork chops: Thicker pork chops will stay juicier during cooking and are less likely to dry out.
- Brine your pork chops: Brining helps to tenderize the pork chops and add flavor. You can use a simple brine made with water, salt, and sugar.
- Cook your pork chops over medium-high heat: This will help to create a nice crust on the outside of the pork chops while keeping the inside juicy.
- Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the pork chops: The pork chops are done when they reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Let the pork chops rest before serving: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the pork chops, making them more tender and flavorful.
Conclusion:
Pork chops are a versatile and delicious cut of meat that can be cooked in a variety of ways. By following these tips, you can cook pork chops that are juicy, flavorful, and tender. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal, give pork chops a try!
