Cumin-Baked Pork Chops image

This fast, easy recipe for succulent pork chops came to The Times in 1997, part of a deep dive on cumin by the writer Molly O'Neill. It is simple to prepare and can be a delicious end to a long day. Using crushed cumin instead of ground will give the chops a bit of fresh texture, but if you don't have cumin seeds, feel free to substitute.

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 8-ounce pork chops

These pork chops were easy to make and they turned out great! I used a bit more cumin than the recipe called for and they had a really nice flavor. I will definitely be making these again.

I'm not a huge fan of cumin, but I decided to give this recipe a try anyway. I'm so glad I did! The cumin flavor was not overpowering at all and it really complemented the pork chops. I will definitely be making these again.

These pork chops were really good! I used a bit less cumin than the recipe called for, but they still had a great flavor. I served them with mashed potatoes and green beans and it was a perfect meal.
