This is my first time making and eating this meal. It has a mild but pleasant flavor.

Look delicious!

You may want to try out "Birnen, Bohnen & Speck" a traditional dish from the north of Germany:

It was very good! I will definitely make it again.

Bacon and green beans sounds like a good idea too!

So is that it? Cook up chops and pears separately and then combine? No spices or other ingredients? Super interested in knowing how to make.

That's mostly it. There is a sauce, made from stock, mustard and brown sugar that's added before it goes into the oven.

I didn't have shallots or the exact pears that they called for, so I used an onion and regular green pears.

I think next time I'll marinate the pork chops in some apple cider vinegar and a blended pear for at least an hour. The center of the pork was slightly under seasoned.
