I got this recipe from a friend in a Ya-Ya group. Everyone raves when I fix this.
Ingredients
1teaspoon chili powder
1teaspoon ground cumin
1teaspoon kosher salt
1⁄2teaspoon fresh ground pepper
4boneless pork chops, 1 1/4 inches thick
1tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
2garlic cloves, minced
1lime, juice and zest of, finely grated
3tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro
Direction
Preheat the oven to 400°F
In a small bowl, mix the chili powder with the cumin, salt and pepper. Rub the spice mixture all over the pork chops.
In a large ovenproof skillet, heat the olive oil until shimmering. Add the pork chops and cook over high heat until browned, about 1 minute per side.
Add the garlic, lime zest, lime juice and cilantro to the skillet and roast the chops in the center of the oven for 10 minutes, or until rosy throughout.
