Pork Recipe ⟶ Herbed Pork Chops

Seasoned with rosemary and basil, these chops are covered in slices of orange and lemon, and then braised in coffee liqueur until tender and sweet.

Ingredients

• 6 pork chops
• 1 ½ teaspoons garlic salt
• 1 teaspoon dried rosemary leaves, crushed
• ½ teaspoon dried basil leaves, crushed
• 1 orange, thinly sliced
• 1 lemon, thinly sliced
• ½ cup coffee flavored liqueur
• ½ cup water
• 2 teaspoons cornstarch
• 2 teaspoons chopped green onion

Cooking Directions

1. Trim excess fat from chops. Heat skillet over medium heat, and rub a piece of fat over the bottom of the pan. Cook chops, turning occasionally, until browned on both sides (4 to 6 minutes).
2. Season chops with garlic salt, rosemary, and basil. Arrange slices of orange and lemon over meat, and pour coffee liqueur and 1/4 cup water over all. Cover, and simmer for 30 minutes, or until meat is tender.
3. Blend cornstarch with remaining 1/4 cup water, and stir into pan liquid; cook until thick. Sprinkle with green onions, and serve.
