ROASTED PORK WITH SAGE, ROSEMARY, AND GARLIC
Pork loin is a lean, mild cut of meat. I like to add flavor and keep it moist by stuffing it with a mixture of chopped herbs and garlic. Simply make a small channel in the center of the loin with a knife, then poke the stuffing in. The meat will be flavored and basted from within while it roasts.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Using a long knife with a thin blade or a clean sharpening steel, make a channel lengthwise through the center of the loin running from one end to the other.
- Mix the chopped sage and rosemary in a small bowl. Add the minced garlic and 1 tablespoon oil. Season the mixture with salt and pepper, then poke it through the channel in the meat (I find it easiest to work from both ends more or less at once).
- Season the outside of the loin generously with salt and pepper. Heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium-high heat in an ovenproof skillet large enough to hold the loin. Brown the meat on all sides and on each end, about 8 minutes in all.
- Add the herb sprigs and crushed garlic to the pan and put it in the oven. Roast for 15 minutes, then turn the loin and roast 15 minutes more, basting from time to time with the pan drippings.
- Remove the pan from the oven, cover with foil, and set aside in a warm place for 15 minutes to rest the meat. To serve, cut the loin into generous slices, season with sea salt, and drizzle with the pan juices.
- Chef's notes:
- If you are roasting a larger, thicker loin, make two channels through the meat so the seasoning can be better distributed. Cook the loin longer.
- If you want, you can use a meat thermometer to check the temperature. I prefer pork cooked so it's still a little pink at the center. You can expect a reading before the final resting of about 135°F. If you like your pork more thoroughly cooked, cook it until the internal temperature reaches 150°F.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Season both sides of pork chops with a healthy sprinkle of fine sea salt and fine black pepper. Melt 2 tablespoons butter to cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. When hot, add chops, do not move, allow to sizzle and brown for 2 minutes, turn and report on other side. Both sides should have a nice, browned crust.
- Continue to brown for 1 minute on each side for 8 minutes total. Turning frequently will help them cook evenly all the way through without burning the outside. While doing this, continually butter over the tops to keep them lubricated. If you have a thinner chop, you will not need to cook for the whole 8 minutes.
- Remove pan from heat and add sage, garlic, and butter, smashing garlic into butter. Tilt skillet and spoon foaming butter and drippings over pork chops, making sure to baste the fat cap as well as the rib.
- Transfer whole dish to oven for 3-5 minutes. Check internal temperature of pork to make sure it has reached 145 degrees. Allow to rest for an additional 3 minutes (I know, it is hard, they are gorgeous) before serving, making sure each has a healthy topping of crispy sage and garlic.
- Cut away bone and slice pork about 1/4" thick. Serve with any juices from the cutting board spooned over top.

Steps:
- Season pork generously with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, heat oil and butter over medium; add pork. Cook until browned and opaque throughout, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate, and cover loosely with aluminum foil to keep warm.
- Make sauce: Add shallot to skillet; cook over medium, stirring until softened, 1 to 2 minutes. Add sage, thyme, and wine. Simmer until sauce is reduced to about 1/3 cup, 2 to 3 minutes; stir in any accumulated juices from plate with meat. Transfer chops to plates, drizzle with sauce, and serve with Parmesan Rice.
Tips:
- Choosing the Right Pork Chops: Opt for bone-in pork chops as they tend to be more flavorful and juicy compared to boneless chops. Look for chops that are about 1 inch thick for optimal cooking results.
- Brining the Pork Chops (Optional): Consider brining the pork chops in a mixture of water, salt, and other seasonings for several hours or overnight. This helps enhance the flavor and tenderness of the chops.
- Pounding the Pork Chops: Pounding the pork chops with a meat mallet or a rolling pin helps tenderize them and ensures even cooking. This step is especially useful for thicker pork chops.
- Seasoning the Pork Chops: Generously season the pork chops with salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings before cooking. This helps develop a flavorful crust and enhances the overall taste of the dish.
- Cooking the Pork Chops: Cook the pork chops over medium heat to prevent them from drying out. Use a meat thermometer to ensure they reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare, 155°F (68°C) for medium, or 165°F (74°C) for well-done.
- Making the Sage Garlic Butter: Combine melted butter, minced fresh sage, minced garlic, lemon zest, and red pepper flakes in a small bowl. Stir until well combined. You can also add other herbs or spices to your preference.
- Basting the Pork Chops: During the last few minutes of cooking, baste the pork chops with the sage garlic butter. This helps infuse them with additional flavor and creates a delicious crispy crust.
- Resting the Pork Chops: Once cooked, let the pork chops rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful experience.
