Garlic Honey-Lime Pork Chops
This recipe is sort of a “taste of the Islands” style dish. The combination of lime and honey is very delicious and quite a change from the pork chops your family may have become accustomed to.
Also makes a great meal to serve company. Include a mixed green salad tossed with a dressing that echoes the same lime/honey/garlic flavors for a beautiful meal.
4 pork loin chops, boneless and about 3/4 inch thick
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoons lime zest
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon garlic, minced
1 tablespoon cooking oil
4 lime wedges
Sprinkle the chops on both sides with the pepper.
Place the lime zest, lime juice and honey in a small mixing bowl. Whisk to combine together well and pour over the chops. Press the garlic firmly on the pork chops.
Pour the the oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Heat the oil until hot but not smoking.
Place the pork chops into the hot oil. Cook 5 minutes. Turn and continue cooking 3 minutes or until nicely browned. Serve each a wedge of lime.
