Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Pork chops (bone-in or boneless)
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 4 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Paprika (optional, for additional flavor)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges (for serving)
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together the minced garlic, olive oil, fresh lemon juice, dried oregano, paprika (if using), salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Place the pork chops in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the pork chops, ensuring they are evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 8 hours for maximum flavor.
When ready to cook, remove the pork chops from the refrigerator and allow them to come to room temperature for about 20 minutes.
If grilling: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking. Grill the pork chops for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
If pan-frying: Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add a small amount of olive oil to the pan. Cook the pork chops for 5-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
Once cooked, let the pork chops rest for 5 minutes to retain their juices.
Serve the Brizoles Hirines garnished with freshly chopped parsley and accompanied by lemon wedges. Pair with a side of Greek salad, roasted potatoes, or crusty bread for a complete meal.
