Quinquagesima Pork

Prep Time10 minutes
Cook Time15 minutes
Course: Main Course
Servings: 2 pork chops

Ingredients

  • 2 pork chops
  • 2 tbsp brown or coconut sugar
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp pepper
  • 4 tbsp butter or coconut oil
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • fresh herbs such as rosemary or thyme optional

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400° F and an oven-safe skillet on the stovetop over medium heat.
  • Combine the spices in a bowl and then rub thoroughly onto both sides of the pork chops.
  • Drop a tablespoon of butter into the skillet and swirl around to grease the bottom of the pan. Place the pork chops in to sear the first side. Flip and sear the other side. If the pork chops haven't yet reached an internal temperature of 145° F, place in the oven and bake until fully cooked, but not dry.
  • Remove from oven, add the remaining butter and minced garlic and spoon over the pork chops. Top with herbs (optional), serve, and enjoy!
