  5. When the pan is hot. Place your chops, you'll hear them immediately start to sizzle and smoke (no need to panic).
  6. Cook on one side till lightly brown. You'll notice the pork chops dispensing juices. Turn them over and cook on the other side for five minutes still on high heat.
  7. If you want yours well done cook some more till brown turning them till done to your liking. I like mine soft and tender.
  8. Alternatively you can sear both sides lightly and transfer them to finish cooking in the oven for 10-15 minutes depending on the thickness of the chops and whether they were brined
  9. Transfer chops from pan to plate and pour over the top the left over juices. You can also store the juices to make gravy.
  10. Serve with rice, potatoes or vegetables. I enjoyed mine with some arrow roots (nduma) and grilled carrots. Enjoy
