Pork chops, like steak, are versatile and easy to cook. Taken from the loin of the pig, they have a generous fat layer on one side and sometimes have a small piece of bone left in. Served with vegetables and mustard or a simple sauce, they make a great speedy meal; however, they can easily become tough and dry if you’re not careful with the temperature or timings.
- Resting them after cooking
- Finishing them in a low oven
- Cooling the pan of seared chops by adding a liquid like cider
- Roasting them on top of vegetables so as to protect one side from the intense heat
The quickest way to cook pork chops is to pan-fry or griddle them. As the chops can be quite large this method is best when serving one or two people. If you’re cooking for more you might want to try roasting or grilling.
