pork chops
|
Ingredients
- 6 porkchops (I prefer "pork rib chops" but any pork chop will do
- 3 tablespoons salt
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 tablespoons minced garlic
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- glaze of choice (optional - barbeque, honey mustard, etc.)

Instructions
- Add salt, sugar, and garlic to 3 cups of water. Mix together to combine and create a brine for the pork chops. When combined, add pork chops to the brine. Add additional water to the bowl to completely cover the pork chops. Cover the bowl and place in the fridge for a minimum of 30 minutes. I find 3-4 hours is optimal.
- When the pork chops are done brining, preheat the oven to 170 degrees. If your oven doesn't go this low, preheat to the lowest temperature. Remove pork chops from solution and pat dry.
- Heat a saute pan over medium high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. When the pan is hot, add chops and sear 2 minutes per side. Remove from pan and add to baking dish.
- Cover the baking dish and place in oven until the internal temperature of chops reads 145. This should take approximately 1 1/2 - 2 hours. Allow pork chops to rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.
- Optional - If a glaze is desired for pork chops coat with sauce of choice prior to placing in the oven. For a thicker glaze, remove cover from baking dish for the last 5-10 minutes of baking.
