Pork Chops

Ingredients

• 1 pork chop per person
• 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil
• 15g unsalted butter

Preparation Time: 10 seconds
Cooking Time: 8 minutes (+ 5 minutes resting)
Serves: Depends on initial quantity

Method

1. Season both sides of each chop with salt & pepper.
2. In a frying pan, heat the oil and butter over medium heat. When the butter is melted and fizzing, put in the chops, making sure they are spaced apart.
3. For a 2cm thick pork chop, fry for 4 minutes, then turn them over and fry for a further 4 minutes. To test whether the chop is cooked, stick a sharp knife into the chop close to the bone and then remove it; if the juices that come out of the knife cut are red, the meat is undercooked, they should be clear and colourless.
4. Once the chop is cooked, carefully stand the chop upright on its fat in the pan for about a minute until it becomes crisp (use a pair of tongs to hold it in place).
5. Remove the chop from the pan and allow it to rest for 5 minutes.
6. Serve.
