These tender and flavorful pork chops are coated in a fragrant herb marinade of Dijon mustard, thyme, rosemary, and garlic. Searing locks in the juices, while a quick oven roast ensures they’re perfectly cooked. Finished with a splash of fresh lemon juice and parsley, this dish is a delightful balance of zest and savory herbs, ideal for an elevated home-cooked meal.

Ingredients

• 2 pork chops (about 200g each)
• 2 tablespoons of olive oil
• 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon of dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon of dried rosemary
• 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
• Salt to taste
• Pepper to taste
• Half a lemon (for juice)
• Fresh parsley (for garnish)

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
2. In a small bowl, mix olive oil, Dijon mustard, thyme, rosemary, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to create the marinade.
3. Rub the herb mixture generously over both sides of the pork chops.
4. Heat a frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the pork chops and sear for about 3-4 minutes on each side until they are nicely browned.
5. Transfer the pork chops to the oven and roast for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
6. Remove from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
7. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the pork chops and garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
