Directions:
-
Prepare the Pork Chops: Start by seasoning the pork chops on both sides with garlic powder, ground cumin, nutmeg, salt, and Accent seasoning. Ensure the spices are evenly distributed for maximum flavor infusion.
-
Sear the Pork Chops: Heat oil in a large fry pan over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the seasoned pork chops to the pan. Sear them until they develop a beautiful golden brown crust on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side.
-
Add Flavorful Ingredients: After the pork chops are nicely browned, add the chopped onions, freshly squeezed orange juice, and dry white wine to the pan. These ingredients will enhance the flavor profile of the dish and create a delightful sauce to accompany the pork chops.
-
Simmer to Perfection: Reduce the heat to low, cover the pan, and let the pork chops simmer gently in the flavorful liquid for about 20 minutes. This slow cooking process allows the pork chops to become tender and absorb all the delicious flavors from the orange juice and wine.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Once the pork chops are cooked through and tender, remove them from the pan and transfer them to a serving platter. Spoon the aromatic sauce over the pork chops, garnish with fresh herbs if desired, and serve hot. Pair these delectable Pork Chops with Oranges with your favorite side dishes for a complete and satisfying meal. Enjoy the burst of flavors with every bite! 🍽️🍊
