Porchetta Style Pork Chop Recipe

Porchetta Style Pork Chop Recipe

My husband is the Chef in our house and last week he made these AMAZING pork chops! And naturally, I told him he had to share this recipe with all of you.. so here it is in his words:

I was inspired to try this Porchetta Style Pork Chop recipe from watching a video clip via the New York Time’s Melissa Clark. I changed the ingredients (not too much) to suit my particular tastes and by what I had on-hand. I got the pork chops at Meijer. I simply asked the butcher if I could get 1 1/2″ chops and he was very accommodating. The total cost of 4 chops was $12.00!

Also, this is one of those recipes that isn’t as involved as it appears. As a matter of fact, it is really quite simplistic. Enjoy.

1. Chop about a ¼ cup of each herb. Combine them and bind with 2 tablespoons of good olive oil.
2. Stuff a couple of teaspoons of the herb mixture into each Pork Chop. Make sure you put some on the outside of the chop as well.
3. In a large cast-iron skillet, heat 2-3 tablespoons of olive oil until it starts to smoke. Brown pork chops for 5-minutes per side.
4. Once they are all brown place the meat in the oven for 10 – 15 minutes or until an instant-read thermometer displays an internal temperature of 135. We decided to put ours on the grill. 
5. Remove pork chops from the oven and let stand for 10 minutes. Serve.

Enjoy!
