Pork Chops with Herbs and Champagne

Remove excess fat from the pork chops then season each of them with salt and pepper.

Grate the lemon zest and mince the fresh herbs, set aside.

In a skillet heat up oil and butter over medium high heat. Then add the pork chops and cook on both sides, searing it nicely and cooking through. The cook time will depend on the thickness of the pork chops but could take anywhere from 3-6 minutes per side.

Add the lemon zest and minced herbs, give it a minute then pour the champagne, turn up the heat and let it reduce. Pork should be roughly 160 F internal temperature when done.

Remove the chops and sauce from the skillet and serve immediately.

This meat is better if eaten right away—this way it remains soft and tender.
