Ingredients:

2 T  Vegetable oil
4    Pork chops, cut 1-inch thick
(about 2 lb)

1/2 c  Thinly sliced onion
16 oz Can sauerkraut, undrained

1. In a heat-resistant, non-metallic skillet, heat oil on a conven-tional

Sprinkle chops lightly with salt and pepper, to taste. Drain any excess
fat. 4. Arrange onion and sauerkraut over pork chops. 5. Heat, covered, in
Microwave Oven 5 minutes. 6. Sprinkle caraway seeds over sauerkraut and
arrange apple slices on top. 7. Add water and heat, covered, in Microwave
Oven 4 minutes. Heat, uncovered, in Microwave Oven an additional 5 minutes
or until pork chops are fork-tender. Pork should always be cooked to
well-done. Tip: If a heat-resistant, non-metallic skillet is not available,
any skillet may be used for browning, and the seared chops may be
transferred to a shallow, 1 1/2-quart or 2-quart, heat-resistant,
non-metallic casserole after Step 3.
