Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 pieces Pork chops Thickness varies; adjust cook time accordingly.
  • 3 cloves Garlic, minced Fresh garlic works best.
  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil For frying.
  • 1 teaspoon Salt Adjust to taste.
  • 1 teaspoon Pepper Freshly ground preferred.
Optional Ingredients
  • 1 tablespoon Honey or brown sugar For sweetness, optional.
  • Optional herbs (like rosemary or thyme) Use according to preference.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Season the pork chops with salt, pepper, and any optional herbs.
  2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant.
Cooking
  1. Add the pork chops to the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until cooked through.
  2. For added sweetness, drizzle a little honey or sprinkle brown sugar on the chops during the last minute of cooking.
Serving

Notes

Serve with crispy roasted vegetables or a light salad. Thinner pork chops will cook faster; adjust cooking time for thick cuts. Letting pork rest before slicing enhances tenderness. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to three days or freeze for three months.
