Time 6h55m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup water
½ cup salt
½ cup white sugar
1 tablespoon dried sage
1 tablespoon garlic powder
10 cups cold water
2 ½ pounds pork loin chops
2 tablespoons olive oil, or as needed, divided

Steps:

  • Bring 1 cup water to a boil in a saucepan. Add salt, sugar, sage, and garlic powder. Remove from heat and stir until mostly dissolved. Add cold water to cool the brining mixture. Place pork chops in a plastic freezer bag or other airtight container. Add brining liquid, close tightly, and refrigerate for 6 hours.
  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease a baking dish with about 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil.
  • Drain pork chops, discarding brine. Place chops in the prepared dish and brush lightly with remaining olive oil.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until chops are no longer pink in the center and juice is clear, about 40 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).

These pork chops were a bit overcooked, but they were still flavorful. I think I'll try cooking them for a shorter amount of time next time.

These pork chops were a bit bland for my taste. I think I should have used more seasoning.
