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.

POLISH PORK CHOPS WITH SAUERKRAUT
This is a fantastic way to prepare pork chops. I've been doing it for years. For the apples, I usually use Granny Smiths, but you can use any apple that you'd normally eat on its own. DON'T use a cooking apple. You need a sweeter apple to balance with the sauerkraut.

Tips:
- To achieve tender and flavorful pork chops, choose bone-in, thick-cut chops. If you prefer boneless chops, opt for a thicker cut to prevent them from drying out during cooking.
- To enhance the flavor of the pork chops, consider marinating them for at least 30 minutes before cooking. A simple marinade made with olive oil, garlic, herbs, and spices will suffice.
- Sear the pork chops over medium-high heat to create a nice crust and lock in the juices. Be sure not to overcrowd the pan to avoid steaming the chops.
- After searing, reduce the heat to medium-low and continue cooking the pork chops until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare, 155°F (68°C) for medium, or 165°F (74°C) for well-done.
- To prevent the sauerkraut from becoming too sour, rinse it thoroughly under cold water before cooking. You can also choose to sauté it with a little butter and onions to enhance its flavor.
- Serve the pork chops and sauerkraut with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad.
