 Savory Skillet Pork Chops
SERVES 4
1/4 cup fresh sage leaves, finely chopped
1/4 c up fresh rosemary leaves, finely chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
Zest of 1 lemon
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 1/2 teaspoons black pepper
4 (8-ounce) bone-in pork chops
Olive oil
Fresh sage and lemon slices for garnish
Combine chopped sage and next 5 ingredients in a small bowl. Place pork chops on a platter or baking sheet. Drizzle both sides with olive oil, and sprinkle each side of pork with herb mixture. Allow pork to come to room temperature, 30 to 45 minutes.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in an 11-inch or larger cast-iron skillet to medium-high heat. Place seasoned pork chops into hot skillet, and sear on both sides until golden brown, about 2 to 3 minutes per side. Place skillet into oven, and cook until pork is done, about 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from the oven, and garnish with fresh sage and lemon slices.
