This popular New Year's tradition of pork and sauerkraut is said to bring good luck and progress. The pairing is also the perfect contrast of grilled protein with cold and crisp fermented cabbage, and the ketogenic macros fall into place with just two primary ingredients.
Season each side of the pork chops with garlic, salt, pepper, and rosemary.
Pour the olive oil in large pan over medium-high heat; let the oil warm up for 1 minute.
Place the pork chops in the pan and allow them to sear on one side until golden brown, about 3 to 5 minutes. Flip the pork chops over and sear on the other side, for an additional 3 to 5 minutes.
Use a meat thermometer to gauge once the chops have reached an internal temperature of 140°F. Remove from heat and allow them to rest for 5 minutes as the internal temperature reaches 145-150°F for medium doneness.
Divide the chops and sauerkraut between 2 plates and serve. Enjoy!
