- Mix paprika, cumin, black pepper, cayenne pepper, sage, and garlic salt on a plate. Liberally coat each pork chop with the spice mixture.
- Heat olive oil and several pumps of non-stick, butter-flavored spray in a large skillet over high heat. Place pork chops in the skillet, reducing heat to medium.

SPICY TOMATO PORK CHOPS
Simmered in tomato sauce, these pork chops are big at our house. I add garlic powder and Creole or Cajun seasoning before browning the chops to give them extra punch. -Holly Neuharth, Mesa, Arizona

SAUTEED SPICE RUBBED PORK CHOPS WITH PAN SAUCE
Steps:
- Make rub: mix all ingredients together in a small bowl or jar (You can store it for a couple of months in a tightly sealed jar.)
- Coat the chops generously with spice rub and let marinate for up to 2 hours at room temperature or overnight in the refrigerator. Let refrigerated meat come to room temperature before cooking. Scrape off any excess rub and pat the chops dry.
- In a large, heavy skillet, heat the oil over high heat. When the pan is hot enough to sear the chops but not burn them, add the chops. They should make a gentle hissing sound when they hit the pan, not an explosive sputter. Adjust the heat if the pan seems too hot or remove the pan from the heat for 30 seconds or so (count this time as part of the overall cooking time). Sear the chops on one side for 1 to 2 minutes, or until beginning to brown lightly. Turn the chops over and sear for 1 minute more.
- Reduce the heat so that the chops continue to sizzle -- do not turn the heat so low that there are no more sizzling sounds (if the heat is too low, the chops will sweat and juices will exude from the meat and leave it dry. Cover the pan and cook for 3 to 4 more minutes more on the other side. The chops are done when the meat is firm but not hard when pressed with a finger. Better still, test them with an instant-read thermometer -- the meat should register 145 to 155 degrees and will still be acceptable at 160 degrees. For the juiciest results, remove the chops from the pan when they register 145 degrees, cover loosely with foil, and let them rest for 5 minutes or so before serving, to stabilize the juices.
- To make the pan sauce: pour off all but 1 tablespoon of fat from the pan, leaving any meat juices. Adjust the heat to medium and add garlic. Stir, cook for 30 seconds, then add remaining ingredients, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Bring the sauce to a boil and reduce it over high heat until it just turns syrupy. Put the pork chops back into the pan and turn them several times in the sauce to transfer the flavors -- this should take no more than 30 seconds. Serve chops with sauce
PORK CHOPS IN CHERRY-PEPPER SAUCE
You can use this sauce - spicy and fragrant and slightly syrupy, what the Italians call agrodolce - on pork chops as I call for here, or on veal chops, on steaks, on chicken. I bet it'd be good on grilled seitan or drizzled over tofu. The recipe is reminiscent of the cooking at red-sauce emporia like Bamonte's in Brooklyn, Rao's in Manhattan, Dominick's in the Bronx and, I hope, Carbone in Greenwich Village, where I first learned how to put it together at the elbow of the chef Mario Carbone. Serve with spaghetti dressed in butter and Parmesan, with garlic bread, with a spoon so you can slurp what's left on the plate. "It's a flavor that's purely Italian-American," Carbone told me. "You won't find it in Italy, no way."

Steps:
- Make the sauce: Drain the cherry peppers, reserving 1 cup brine, then stem, halve, core and seed them. Place a large skillet over medium-high heat, and swirl the olive oil into it. When the oil begins to shimmer, add the garlic, and sauté, stirring frequently, until it begins to color, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the peppers, the reserved brine and the white wine, and bring to a boil over high heat. Cook until the liquid has reduced by slightly more than half, 10 to 15 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper, and remove from the heat. (The sauce can be made a few hours ahead of time.)
- When you're ready to cook the meat, season it aggressively with salt and pepper. Place a large, heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat, and swirl the neutral oil into it. When the oil begins to shimmer, place the meat in the pan, working in batches if needed, and sear until the meat has browned, formed something of a crust and cooked through to medium-rare, 5 to 6 minutes on each side. Transfer the chops to a warmed platter.
- Add the sauce to the large, heavy-bottomed skillet in which you seared the meat, and warm over medium-low heat. Whisk the butter into the sauce until evenly distributed and the sauce develops a velvety sheen. Spoon sauce over chops, and garnish with parsley.

PORK CHOPS IN SPICY SAUCE
This is just one of THOSE recipes, fool your friends into thinking you've been cooking all day and they have no idea how simple it is to make. I saw the original of this in a world cookbook 20 years ago, long since lost and now adapted to perfection.

Steps:
- Rinse and pat dry chops. Smother chops with garlic and on a chopping board, dip in the flour WELL seasoned with salt and pepper (I always use marine salt because its healthier).
- In a large frying pan (that has a lid), on medium heat fry the chops in oil until slightly golden. Remove from pan. Add onions and a little more oil if necessary. When golden (not brown)add flour that remains from chopping board and mix in well. now return the chops to the pan, add about half a pint (300ml) of boiling water and stir. Now you add the stock cube, Tabasco and Worcestershire sauce and stir.
- Add the lid (a wok is ideal also for this) and simmer gently until chops are tender, around 45 minutes If necessary add more water to keep plenty of sauce. You can thicken with cornflour if you need to. I serve with veg and basmati rice ( see my recipe for this). Ideal with roast potatoes also.
- Its a dish made in heaven. My Spanish friends want to use it in their restaurant, but with chicken! I often use pork loins also, but the bones from the chops enhance the flavor.

Tips:
- To ensure the pork chops are cooked evenly, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. It should reach 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare, 155°F (68°C) for medium, and 165°F (74°C) for well done.
- If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can check the doneness of the pork chops by making a small cut into the thickest part of the meat. The juices should run clear, with no pink.
- If the sauce is too spicy for your taste, you can add a little bit of sugar, honey, or ketchup to balance the heat.
- To save time, you can use store-bought salsa instead of making your own.
- Serve the pork chops with your favorite sides, such as rice, roasted vegetables, or mashed potatoes.
Conclusion:
Pork chops in spicy sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The pork chops are tender and juicy, and the spicy sauce is flavorful and addictive. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends. Enjoy!
