ready in:
under 30 minutes

ingredients

salt, to taste
freshly ground black pepper, to taste
4 thick pork chops
2 tablespoons virgin olive oil
8 cloves garlic, in crosswise slices
2 cups sauvignon blanc or other dry white wine
2 tablespoons unsalted butter

directions

Salt and pepper pork chops on each side.

In a large saute pan or skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat and saute garlic until golden brown. Using a slotted spoon, transfer garlic to a small bowl and set aside.

Put pork chops in hot pan, cover, and cook over medium-high heat until golden brown, 10-15 minutes per side, adding a tablespoon or two of wine to pan if it starts to smoke. Transfer to a plate and cover loosely with foil.

Add wine to pan and stir to scrape up any browned bits. Cook to reduce liquid by half. Reduce heat to low and add butter, stirring until melted. Turn off heat.

Place pork chops on warmed plates. Garnish liberally with garlic and drizzle with pan sauce. Pass any remaining sauce at the table.
