Sprinkle in a pinch of cloves and toss everything together.

Add about 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the mixture and a grind of black pepper, then mix again.

Season the pork chops with salt and place them in a skillet.

Cook the pork chops for about 4 to 6 minutes on each side, depending on thickness.

While the pork chops cook, drink the brine from the sauerkraut if desired.

Once the pork chops are ready to turn, check for browning and flip them over.

Add the sauerkraut mixture with spices to the skillet with the pork chops once they are cooked on both sides.

Remove the pork chops and let them rest on plates.

In the same skillet, add all spice to the remaining juices and sizzle it.

Pour in a small bit of apple juice and a bit of salt, stirring and letting it bubble until slightly thickened.
