Ingredients

• 4 pieces Pork chops (bone-in or boneless)
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 0.25 cup Lemon curd
• 0.25 cup Hoisin sauce
• 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
• 3 cloves Fresh garlic (minced)
• 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger (grated)
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley or cilantro (optional, for garnish)
• 4 slices Lemon slices (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Season the pork chops on both sides with salt and ground black pepper. Set them aside while you prepare the glaze.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix together the lemon curd, hoisin sauce, soy sauce, minced garlic, and grated ginger until well combined. This will serve as the marinade and glaze for the chops.

Step 3

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Once the oil is hot, sear the pork chops for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Remove them from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

Lower the heat to medium and add the lemon curd-hoisin sauce mixture to the skillet. Stir constantly for about 1-2 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.

Step 5

Return the seared pork chops to the skillet, coating them in the sauce. Cover the skillet with a lid and let the chops simmer in the sauce for 10-12 minutes, flipping them halfway through.

Step 6

Check the internal temperature of the pork chops with a meat thermometer. They should reach a safe temperature of 145°F (63°C). If not, cook for an extra few minutes.

Step 7

Once done, remove the pork chops from the skillet and let them rest for 5 minutes. Spoon any remaining sauce from the skillet over the chops before serving.

Step 8

Garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro and optional lemon slices for a bright presentation. Serve hot alongside steamed rice, mashed potatoes, or roasted vegetables.
