SKILLET PORK CHOPS WITH SALSA VERDE
Steps:
- For the pork chops: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- Combine the paprika, salt, sugar and pepper in a small bowl. Rub all over the surface of the chops and let the chops rest on a rack while you make the salsa verde.
- For the salsa verde: Combine the parsley, capers, lemon juice, zest, mustard, salt, cayenne, scallions and garlic in a blender. Pulse to make a coarse paste. With the blender running on high, add the olive oil in a slow, steady stream to make a thick, smooth sauce. With the blender running on low, add up to 2 tablespoons water to thin the sauce so it has a drizzle consistency.
- For the pork chops: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat, then coat with some olive oil. Add the chops to the skillet and sear until the underside is well browned, about 4 minutes. If the sides of the chops have a thick layer of fat, turn them briefly on their sides to sear the fat, about 30 seconds. Flip the chops raw-side down and transfer the skillet to the oven. Roast until the chops are just cooked through and reach 140 to 145 degrees F in the center as measured on an instant-read thermometer, about 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes. Serve drizzled with the salsa verde.
Tips:
- Choose the right pork chops. Look for chops that are at least 1 inch thick and have a good amount of marbling. This will help them stay juicy and flavorful during cooking.
- Brine the pork chops. This is a great way to add flavor and moisture to the chops. You can use a simple brine made with water, salt, and sugar, or you can get creative and add other ingredients like herbs, spices, or citrus juice.
- Cook the pork chops over medium heat. This will help them cook evenly without overcooking. If you cook them over too high heat, they will be tough and dry.
- Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the pork chops. They are done when they reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Let the pork chops rest before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the chops, making them even more tender and flavorful.
Conclusion:
Pork chops are a delicious and versatile cut of meat that can be cooked in a variety of ways. With a little planning and effort, you can create a delicious pork chop dish that your family and friends will love. Whether you choose to grill, pan-fry, or bake your pork chops, be sure to follow these tips to ensure that they are cooked perfectly every time.
