Rosemary Braised Pork Chops

Preparation

1. Step 1

   In a small bowl, stir together the rub ingredients. Sprinkle on both sides of the pork. Using your fingertips, press the rub into the pork.

   Step 2

   Lightly spray a large skillet with olive oil spray. Cook the pork over medium-high heat for 2 minutes on each side, or until lightly browned.

   Step 3

   Pour in the water. Reduce the heat to medium low. Cook for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the pork is no longer pink in the center. Using a slotted spoon or slotted spatula, transfer the pork to plates.

2. Celery-Sage Pork Chops

   Step 4

   Replace the rosemary rub with 1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage (about 10 leaves) or 1 teaspoon dried sage, 1/2 teaspoon celery seeds, 1/2 teaspoon onion powder, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper.

3. Cook’s Tip

   Step 5

   If you have the time or the rest of the meal isn’t ready yet, you can simmer these chops for up to 1 hour. (Don’t forget to add more water when needed.) Although they’ll be fine to eat even after 10 to 15 minutes, the pork chops will become even tenderer if cooked longer.
