Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 3/4 teaspoon white pepper
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 2 teaspoons ground coriander
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 pork chops
Instructions:
-
Heat Broiler: Preheat your broiler to the appropriate setting, ensuring it reaches the desired temperature for cooking the pork chops evenly.
-
Prepare Spice Rub: In a small bowl, combine the ground cumin, salt, black pepper, white pepper, cayenne pepper, ground coriander, minced garlic, and olive oil. Stir the ingredients vigorously until they are well mixed, forming a flavorful spice rub.
-
Season Pork Chops: Take the pork chops and generously rub the prepared spice mixture onto both sides, ensuring each chop is thoroughly coated with the aromatic blend of spices.
-
Broil Pork Chops: Place the seasoned pork chops on a broiler pan or baking sheet, ensuring they are evenly spaced. Position the pan approximately 3 inches away from a gas broiler flame or 1-1/2 inches from an electric broiler element.
-
Cook Until Crispy: Broil the pork chops, turning them once during cooking, until they develop a crispy exterior and are still slightly pink near the bone. This typically takes about 15 minutes in total, but ensure to monitor them closely to avoid overcooking.
-
Serve Hot: Once cooked to perfection, remove the pepper-rubbed pork chops from the broiler and transfer them to a serving platter. Allow them to rest for a few minutes before serving to ensure the juices redistribute, resulting in tender, flavorful meat.
-
Enjoy: Serve the succulent Pepper-rubbed Pork Chops alongside your favorite sides or accompaniments, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad. Savor each delicious bite and relish in the enticing combination of spices and juicy pork.
