Coriander Crusted Pork Chops Recipe (+)

Directions

Trim off excess fat from chops; cut fat into several small pieces and put into skillet over medium heat for 3 - 4 minutes to grease skillet. If there is no excess fat, heat 2 teaspoons cooking oil in skillet.
While skillet heats, salt and pepper chops lightly. Coarsely crush coriander seeds with mortar and pestle, or by putting in a plastic bag and tapping with a heavy object. Press crushed coriander firmly into one side of each chop.
Put chops in hot pan, coriander side down, and cook without moving meat for 4 - 5 minutes. Turn and cook until chops are barely pink when pierced, another 4-5 minutes for 1" chops, less for thinner ones. Don't overcook or they will be dry and tasteless.
