Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Bone-in pork chops
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1.5 teaspoons Sea salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
- 0.5 cup Dry white wine
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Chopped parsley
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine minced garlic, olive oil, paprika, dried oregano, sea salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
Rub the marinade on both sides of the pork chops, making sure they are fully coated. Cover and marinate for at least 30 minutes, or ideally overnight in the refrigerator.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add a drizzle of olive oil if needed, and sear the pork chops for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set aside.
Deglaze the skillet by pouring in the white wine and scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Allow the wine to simmer for 2 minutes.
Add lemon juice to the skillet and return the pork chops to the pan. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let the pork chops cook for another 5-7 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
Remove the pork chops from the skillet and let them rest for 5 minutes.
Sprinkle the pork chops with chopped parsley before serving. Serve with rice, potatoes, or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
