What can you do with smoked pork chops?

Our Farmer's Choice, where we get all of our meats (local/all natural), is carrying smoked pork chops that we've been buying now for a couple of months. We usually end up frying them, and eating them with a couple of side dishes. I was looking for something a bit different, and I finally figured it out.

You'll Need:
12 whole cloves
1 medium - large onion
2 - 4 smoke pork chops
2 cups good quality/organic beef broth
sauerkraut
bay leaf
salt and pepper to taste

Put 2 cups organic/good quality beef broth in a large pan or wok. Cut the onion in half, you'll be placing both sides, cut side down. Along what will be the bottom of this, stick the cloves in the onion so it will be sitting in the broth. Add the onions, bay leaf and pork chops to beef broth. Cover and simmer 30mins. Serve with cooked sauerkraut.

The Verdict:
According to husband, this is a "make again". I actually ended up over cooking these, but the smoked pork just kind of caramelized and it was absolutely delicious. This is definitely a make again, and I'd like to add some mushrooms (like morels?) to it!
