1/2 bunch thyme, leaves only, finely chopped
2 serrano chiles, stemmed, seeded, and minced
1/2 teaspoons salt
1/4 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons lemon juice

1 teaspoon minced habanero chile
2 tablespoons fruity olive oil

Steps:

Lamb Chops With Port, Mustard & Cream (Costeletas De Carneir image

DH and I made this lamb chop recipe last night and thought it could not be quicker and easier. It was also really tasty. We thought it would be really good for a weeknight meal since the prep is so minimal. The recipe is from my Williams-Sonoma "Savoring Spain and Portugal" cookbook. We easily halved the recipe to suit 6 lamb chops. The cookbook states to serve the lamb chops with fried potatoes and sauteed carrots with mint. We served with steamed broccoli.

  • Choose the right pork chops. Look for chops that are at least 1 inch thick, with a good amount of marbling. This will help ensure that the chops stay juicy and flavorful during cooking.
  • Season the pork chops well. A simple salt and pepper rub is a good starting point, but you can also add other seasonings like garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, or cumin.
  • Cook the pork chops over medium heat. This will help prevent the chops from overcooking and becoming dry. Cook the chops for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the pork chops rest before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful chop.
  • Serve the pork chops with your favorite sides. Some popular options include mashed potatoes, green beans, and roasted vegetables.

Pork chops are a versatile and affordable cut of meat that can be cooked in a variety of ways. By following the tips in this article, you can cook pork chops that are juicy, flavorful, and tender.
