SPICED PORK CHOPS II
This is based on Joan MacKinnon's really great 'Spiced Pork Chop' recipe, modified based on numerous reviews from others and trial and error. This is my current favorite version for empty nesters (i.e. two servings). The gravy is optional but very tasty. It is important to use the size pan indicated so that wine sauce can spread out and evolve. I find the gravy is better if not too thick. Also use milk if you want a thinner gravy.

SPICE-RUBBED GRILLED PORK CHOPS
Dry rubs are also a terrific way to season pork chops. Select chops of close to an inch in thickness - nothing flimsy - then grill them over steady medium heat. We opt for rib chops over the center-cut variety when cooking outdoors because their greater fat content helps keep them moist, and we always prefer bone-in chops for their juiciness. You might add a barbecue sauce on the side with these, but we relish their crispy surface unvarnished.

SPICED BUTTER-BASTED PORK CHOPS
These pork chops are juicy inside, crusty outside and draped in a smoky butter sauce, but they won't set off your fire alarm. They're cooked low and slow with a few key ingredients. First, thick chops are coated with salt and sugar, which promotes browning, then they're cooked over moderate heat. Smoked paprika and fennel seeds season the butter that's added, but feel free to swap in dried herbs or other ground or whole spices. Basting the chops with this infused butter creates a rich crust quickly so that the interior stays tender. The key is to watch the temperature of your skillet: Lower the heat if things are moving along too quickly, and the chops will achieve what you're after in time.

Steps:
- Pat the pork dry and season all over with the sugar and 1 teaspoon salt. In a large (12-inch) cast-iron skillet, heat the oil over medium. Add the pork chops, cover with a lid or baking sheet, and cook until browned on the outside and the internal temperature is between 110 and 120 degrees, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Reduce the heat if burning or sizzling wildly.
- Using tongs, stack both chops on top of one another, then grab both chops together and hold upright to sear the fat caps until crisp, about 1 minute. Lay the chops back down in one layer and add the butter, paprika and fennel seeds. Season the butter with salt and pepper. Tilt the skillet and baste the pork by spooning the melting butter and drippings over the pork until the internal temperature registers 130 degrees, 1 to 2 minutes per side.
- Transfer the pork chops to a lipped plate and pour the butter over top. Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving with a spoonful of the butter.

Tips:
- Choose the right pork chops: Look for bone-in pork chops that are at least 1 inch thick. This will help them stay juicy during cooking.
- Season the pork chops well: Pork chops are a blank canvas for flavor, so don't be afraid to season them generously. Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika for a classic flavor.
- Cook the pork chops over medium heat: This will help them cook evenly without burning. If you cook them over high heat, they will likely overcook on the outside and be undercooked on the inside.
- Use a meat thermometer: This is the best way to ensure that the pork chops are cooked to your desired doneness. Insert the thermometer into the thickest part of the chop and cook until it reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare, 150 degrees Fahrenheit for medium, or 155 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-well.
- Let the pork chops rest before serving: This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful chop.
Conclusion:
Spiced-up pork chops are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that can be enjoyed by the whole family. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a dish that is sure to impress. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal, give these spiced-up pork chops a try.
