  2       T            Vegetable oil
  4                    Pork chops, cut 1-inch thick
                       (about 2 lb)
                       Salt and pepper
    1/2   c            Thinly sliced onion
 16       oz           Can sauerkraut, undrained
    1/2   t            Caraway seeds
  1                    Tart apple, peeled, cored
                       -and thinly sliced
    1/2   c            Water

 1. In a heat-resistant, non-metallic skillet, heat oil on a conven-tional
 surface unit until hot. 2. Sear pork chops on both sides until browned. 3.
 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.
