Quick and delicious chops! Make sure to brine them one day ahead to eat juicy, moist chops.
Serve with a side of white rice or quinoa.
• Brining: Bring water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add salt and sugar, stir to dissolve. Transfer to medium bowl and add 5 cups ice cubes. Stir until brine is cool. Add pork chops, cover and chill for at least two hours, preferably overnight.
• In a small saucepan, sauté the tomatillos with the oil. Move to a blender and add the Oaxaca Cooking paste. Blend until smooth. Return to saucepan and cook sauce for 10 minutes over medium heat. Season with salt.
• Remove chops from brine and pat dry. Heat oil over medium-high heat in a large skillet. Brown chops on both sides, 3-4 minutes on each side. Add sauce, cover and cook for 10 more minutes or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into center of meat registers 135 degrees. Remove from heat and let rest, turning once, for 10 minutes to ensure juices are evenly distributed. Serve and provecho!
