Pork chops are a versatile and flavorful cut of meat that can be cooked in a variety of ways. One of the most popular methods is to pan-fry them, which gives them a nice crispy exterior and a juicy interior. When pan-frying pork chops, it's important to use a good quality oil that can withstand high heat, such as grapeseed or canola oil. You'll also want to make sure your pan is hot enough before adding the pork chops, otherwise they will stick. Once the pork chops are browned on both sides, you can reduce the heat and cook them through, either in the pan or in the oven. Pork chops are a great source of protein, and they are also a good source of vitamins and minerals, including iron, zinc, and selenium.

THICK PORK CHOPS WITH HOISIN-BLACK BEAN SAUCE
These thick, moist, juicy chops can be marinated any where from 3 to 5 days, so it is a breeze to be so organized. I got this recipe from Bon Appetit, but found that there was way too much sauce needed, so I pared the recipe down and added some extras

Steps:
- Mix the ingredients in a bowl. Combine the pork chops in a large zip lock bag and add the sauce. Marinate 3 - 5 days. (The longer the marinade the more tender the chops become).
- Preheat the broiler. Broil until chops are cook through (145 F), about 9 minutes per side. (or grill until the chops are cooked).
- Option:
- Garlic chili paste could be added to "kick it up" also
- Note: I had changed the recipe around, but if you like a particular sauce, add more of it and less of the others. The marinating time is what makes these so juicy.

PORK CHOPS WITH GARLIC BLACK BEAN SAUCE
I made up this recipe a couple of nights ago and didn't measure anything as I went along. It was so tasty that I thought I would post it here. All the measurements are approximations, so adjust them as you see fit. My sauce was thin but not watery which made for a lighter texture. I think this would be a great crock pot recipe too! I served this dish with a Romaine and Mandarin Orange Salad with a light Ginger dressing, Sesame Green Beans and Steamed Rice. Enjoy!

Steps:
- In a large pan, brown both sides of pork chops in oil.
- Stir together chicken broth and Garlic Black Bean Sauce and add to pan.
- Cover and simmer for 45 minutes.
- Transfer chops to a serving dish, leaving sauce in the pan.
- Stir together water and corn starch; add to sauce and cook until thickened a bit.
- Pour thickened sauce over chops and serve.
Tips:
- To achieve the best flavor, use bone-in pork chops. They will stay moist and juicy during cooking.
- Make sure to use a heavy-bottomed skillet or Dutch oven to prevent the pork chops from sticking and burning.
- Sear the pork chops over medium-high heat to create a nice crust. This will help to lock in the flavor and prevent the meat from drying out.
- Once the pork chops are seared, reduce the heat to medium-low and continue cooking until they are cooked through.
- Don't overcrowd the skillet or Dutch oven when cooking the pork chops. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
- To make sure the pork chops are cooked through, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. The chops should reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Serve the pork chops immediately with your favorite sides.
Conclusion:
Spicy pork chops with black beans is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The pork chops are seared until browned and then simmered in a flavorful sauce made with black beans, chili peppers, and spices. The result is a tender and juicy pork chop that is packed with flavor. Serve the pork chops with your favorite sides, such as rice, beans, or vegetables.
