Modo de preparo

1. 1

   Brown the pork: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Season the pork chops with salt and pepper on both sides. Add the pork chops to the skillet and cook for about 4 to 5 minutes until the pork turns golden brown. Flip and season with more salt and pepper, and cook for another 4 to 5 minutes or until the pork is fully cooked through. Transfer the pork to a plate.
