Ingredients

• 4 pieces pork neck chops
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 3 cloves garlic cloves
• 1 tablespoon fresh thyme
• 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 teaspoon paprika

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the marinade. In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic cloves, chopped fresh thyme, and chopped fresh rosemary. Mix well.

Step 2

Place the pork neck chops in a shallow dish or a zip-top bag. Pour the marinade over the chops, ensuring they are evenly coated. Cover the dish or seal the bag, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.

Step 3

Once marinated, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 4

Remove the pork chops from the marinade and let them sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes. Discard the marinade.

Step 5

Season the chops with sea salt, black pepper, and paprika evenly on both sides.

Step 6

Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add a small amount of additional olive oil if needed to prevent sticking.

Step 7

Once the skillet is hot, sear the pork chops for 2-3 minutes on each side until they are golden brown.

Step 8

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145°F (63°C).

Step 9

Remove the skillet from the oven and let the pork chops rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 10

Serve the Paleo Nakkekoteletter with your favorite side dishes, such as roasted vegetables or a fresh salad.
