Ingredients

  • Six to eight 1-inch-thick loin pork chops (3 to 4 pounds)
  • 3 tablespoons Dry Rub , homemade or store-bought
  • Juice of 3 oranges
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 2 tablespoons cider vinegar
  • 2 cloves garlic, smashed
  • Canola or other vegetable oil

Method

  • 1.
  • Rub both sides of the chops with the dry rub, coating them generously.
  • Place them in a deep baking dish, overlapping if necessary.
  • Stir the citrus juices, vinegar, and garlic together in a bowl until blended.
  • Pour over the chops and massage into them.
  • 2.
  • Marinate the chops at room temperature for up to 1 hour or in the refrigerator for up to 1 day.
  • 3.
  • Pour enough oil into a large, heavy skillet to film the bottom.
  • (If necessary, work in batches or use two skillets if you have them and space on the stove to hold them.)
  • Heat the oil over medium heat until rippling.
  • Remove the chops from the marinade and discard the marinade.
  • Add as many chops as will fit in the pan without touching.
  • Cook until the chops are well browned on the underside, about 6 minutes.
  • Turn the chops and cook until they are firm near the bone when you poke them with a finger, about 8 minutes.
  • Keep warm while cooking the second batch, if necessary.
  • Serve immediately.
