How to Make 3 Spice Fried Pork Chops
- Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat.
- Season each pork chop generously with 1 teaspoon cumin, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- Carefully place pork chops in the hot oil. Cover the pan with a lid or aluminum foil and cook for 10 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Flip the pork chops and cook for another 10 minutes, uncovered, until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 145°F).
- Remove pork chops from the pan and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Serve immediately. For an American-style dinner, pair with a fresh salad and roasted vegetables. For a Latin-inspired meal, serve with delicious fried beans, rice, or a vibrant stir-fry of cabbage, egg, and avocado.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
