Easy Pork Chops

Ingredients

• 4 Boneless pork loin chops, about 180g each, 2cm thick
• 1 tbsp Olive oil
• 1 tsp Smoked paprika
• 2 cloves Garlic, finely chopped
• 30g Butter
• 2 tsp Dijon mustard
• 120ml Chicken stock, ½ cup
• Salt and black pepper

You’ll need: Large frying pan

Method

1. 1

   Pat the chops dry and season both sides with the paprika, salt and pepper.

2. 2

   Heat the oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Cook the chops for 4–5 minutes per side until golden and cooked through (63°C in the thickest part if you have a thermometer, and the juices run clear). Move to a plate and rest for 3 minutes.

3. 3

   Reduce the heat to medium. Melt the butter, add the garlic for 30 seconds, then stir in the stock and mustard. Simmer for 2–3 minutes until slightly reduced.

4. 4

   Return the chops and any resting juices to the pan and spoon the sauce over.
