Tender carrots, potatoes, and kohlrabi, seasoned with marjoram and bathed in milk, bake into a creamy vegetable bed for pork chops nestled over the top. In place of kohlrabi, which tastes like broccoli with a peppery bite, you could substitute onions.

- 6 (3/4 inch) thick pork chops
- 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
- salt and pepper to taste
- 4 cups potatoes, peeled and sliced
- 2 cups sliced carrots
- 2 cups sliced kohlrabi
