applesauce
fruits in general
blueberries and blackberries do very well with porkchops
I like to do a smear of blackberry jam on top of my porkchops as a sauce

lebanese green beans. braised with onions in spicy tomato sauce.

Fried potatoes sound good anon, but it's summer and I think potato salad. And are you having chorizo and pork chops in the same meal? I took the chorizo out of the freezer so I can put it in with the eggs and potatoes for tomorrow's breakfast.

apples leeks and cabbage fried in the drippings from the pork chops. add caraway seeds, fennel seeds, and a dash of nutmeg. deglaze with beer, hard cider, or a german white wine if you happen to be drinking any of the three. if not a cider vinegar will do the trick--dont overdo it!

Chorizo beans. Toss some chorizo onto a pan then after it's done toss some refried beans, mix it all together, add some cheese and bam you've got some tasty beans. Goes excellent with fatijas and flour tortillas.

I like german or southern kinds of sides when I do chops. They're pretty versatile that way.

They are great when you have a one pot dinner and make a pan sauce. Bone-in is always better too. First, brown chops each side in oil, either seasoned with salt and pepper, or seasoned flour (salt, pepper, garlic, paprika, etc). Add in sliced onions or peppers to the pan. Lower heat and cover with any kind of sauce you can think about adding to simmer at this point: cold coffee, cream, any kind of stock or beer,or splash of wine or spirits (such as calvados or vermouth) OR something sour like vinegar, apple juice, orange juice+soy, stewed tomatoes, or sour cream or drained sauerkraut. Simmer 20ish minutes until pork is tender and fall off the bone. This pan sauce lushness can become a onion gravy for a nice side that takes the sauce esp if you browned in flour. Tops egg noodles, spaetzle, or smashed potatoes or just oodles of tobacco onions with each bite.
That's about it man, you get good after a while adjusting your one pot chops flavors, from adding sage heavy or paprika heavy, cajun or greek seasoning, to a sweet and soury sriracha. Anything goes! The one thing about pork is chefs encourage some kind of rare pink pork now, but the texture sucks. It's far more luscious and rich when it gives up the marrow and gets a lovely browned flavor. You'll know when the texture is right. Thin chops can quick cook, but thicker take the simmer nicely.

Southern sides include a quick kale or collard saute, or cabbage, touch of bacon and onion or squeeze of lemon, crisp green beans or peas or black eyed peas, or steamed squash maybe simmered in tomatoes. Keep it simple, really.. I like a quick cold cuke salad, maybe apple cider marinated, or maybe sour cream and dill. Very ripe sliced tomatoes with sea salt. Slicing apples into wedges and frying in butter with brown sugar, cinnamon, pinch of salt is a nice treat, esp if apples are tart.
