Ingredients:
- 4 pork chops (bone-in or boneless)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste for desired spice level)
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh cilantro or parsley for garnish (optional)
- In a small bowl, mix together the minced garlic, paprika, cayenne pepper, chili powder, ground cumin, salt, and pepper to create a spice rub.
- Rub the spice mixture evenly over both sides of the pork chops, ensuring they are well coated. Let the pork chops marinate with the spices for at least 15-20 minutes, or refrigerate them for up to 4 hours for maximum flavor.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the pork chops to the skillet.
- Cook the pork chops for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C) for safe consumption.
- Remove the pork chops from the skillet and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
- Garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley, if desired, and serve hot with your favorite side dishes.
