Spicy Lemon Pork Saute recipe

4 servings

2 tablespoons olive oil

4 pork loin chops, 1/2 inch thick

1/2 cup lemon juice

3 cloves garlic, peeled and minced

1/2 tablespoon paprika

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Heat olive oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium heat.

Brown pork chops about 5 minutes per side.

Mix lemon juice, garlic, paprika, thyme, and cayenne pepper into the skillet.

Cover, and simmer 20 minutes, cooking the chops to an internal temperature of 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).

Remove pork chops from the skillet, and set aside.

Over high heat, reduce the remaining liquid for about 5 minutes.

Return pork chops to the skillet briefly, coating them on both sides with the reduced mixture.
