Schweinekoteletts mit Zitrone und Oregano

Zutaten

• 4 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 tablespoons lemon juice
• 2 teaspoons dried oregano
• Salt and pepper ((to taste))
• 4 pork chops (approximately 250g / 9oz each)

Zubereitung

1. 1

   Mix the olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, salt and pepper together in an old jam jar (or similar).

2. 2

   Lay the pork chops on a plate and cover both sides with the marinade. (In an ideal world you would cover the plate with clingflim and leave to marinate for 30 minutes outside of the fridge so the flavours develop and the chops can come up to room temperature, but if time is short you can skip this step.)

3. 3

   Heat up a griddle pan on a high heat for 2 minutes. (Use a large frying pan if you don’t have a griddle pan.)

4. 4

   When the griddle pan is hot, put the pork chops into the pan and cook for 5 minutes on each side. Try not to move them about on the griddle pan and they will develop lovely char lines on each side.

5. 5

   Ideally, leave the chops to rest for 5-10 minutes before serving (If you can bear to wait that long!)
