RECIPES
Chinese Five Spice Pork Chops
Ingredients
- 4 5-6 oz. Boneless Pork Chops
- 1 tbsp. olive oil
- 1 tbsp. Chinese Five Spice Seasoning divided equally among chops
- 2 tsp. salt divided evenly among chops
- 2 tsp. pepper divided evenly among chops
Directions
Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees. Season the chops with the five spice, salt and pepper. Heat a large ovenproof skillet over high heat for 2 minutes. Add the olive oil and then the chops placing the chops in the pan away from you to avoid oil splatter on your fingers. Turn heat down to medium high and sear chops for 2 minutes. After two minutes and most importantly the chops do not stick to the pan (if the chop sticks resist the urge to force it and leave it until it loosens on its own) turn the chops over and place into the oven for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and let rest for at least 5 minutes. Serve with desired side and fresh scallions.
