Flavorful Rosemary Orange Pork Chops Recipe

Today’s Special: Rosemary Orange Pork Chops

Welcome, fellow food enthusiasts! Today, I’m excited to share a unique and flavorful dish that combines the earthy aroma of rosemary with the zesty freshness of oranges in a succulent pork chop recipe. This dish is perfect for a cozy fall dinner or a special occasion when you want to impress your guests with a tantalizing meal.

Ingredients:

Kitchen Tools:

To start, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Heat an oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat. Season the pork chops with salt and pepper on both sides. Sear the pork chops in the hot skillet until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.

While the pork chops are searing, combine the orange juice, zest, honey, minced garlic, and rosemary in a small bowl. Once the pork chops are seared, pour the orange mixture over the chops in the skillet. Place the skillet in the preheated oven and roast for 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145°F (63°C).

Remove the skillet from the oven and let the pork chops rest for a few minutes before serving. The aroma of rosemary and oranges will tantalize your senses, and the pork chops will be juicy and flavorful with a hint of sweetness from the honey.

This dish serves 4 people, with each serving weighing approximately 200g. One serving of these rosemary orange pork chops is around 350 calories.

Unique Tip:

To elevate the flavors of this dish even more, try basting the pork chops with the citrus sauce while they roast in the oven. This will infuse the meat with even more zesty goodness!

I encourage you to give these rosemary orange pork chops a try and experiment with different citrus fruits or herbs to make this dish your own. Enjoy!
