Pork chop recipes can be cooked in many ways. Broiling is a relatively convenient cooking method and it makes delicious meals. In order to be able to cook the following recipes you need a broiler. If you don’t have one, you can use a cast iron grill and the oven. Beware, though, if your cast iron grill has a wood or plastic handle, do not use it as broiler, because you’ll manage to burn the handle in very little time.

Ingredients:

• 4 loin pork chops, 3/4 inch – 1 inch thick (bone in or boneless, as you wish)
• 2 garlic cloves, crushed
• 1 small onion, minced
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• Salt, pepper

Preparation time: 10 minutes

Cooking time: 20 minutes

Serves: 4

Method:

In a saucepan, mix the garlic, the onion, the paprika, the Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper and some water and bring it to a boil, then simmer it for 5 more minutes, stirring frequently. Preheat the broiler. Meanwhile, brush the pork chops with the garlic sauce thoroughly, then put them on the broiling pan rack. After broiling the chops for 5 minutes turn them on the other side and baste them with sauce. Repeat this operation for a couple more times or until the chops are done. If you have a probe thermometer, you could measure the internal temperature of the meat: it needs to reach 150 F in order to be safe for eating.
