SPICED PORK CHOPS
List of Ingredients
SPICED PORK CHOPS
4 (12- to 14-ounce) double-thick pork chops (1 1/2 inches thick)
1/2 cup home spice mix (see recipe)
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup olive oil
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place pork chops in wide shallow bowl;
generously coat them on all sides with spice mix. Season to taste
with salt and pepper.
Heat olive oil in a 10-inch cast-iron ovenproof or stainless-steel
skillet over medium heat. Add pork chops; brown until spices turn
golden brown, about 1 minute per side. Carefully pour off oil.
Place skillet in oven; bake chops until cooked through, 25 to 30
minutes. Every 8 to 10 minutes, remove skillet from oven, carefully
pour off accumulated fat and turn chops over. When chops are cooked,
transfer to a large plate and let stand for 5 to 10 minutes before
serving.
Yield: 4 servings.
