- a good handful of fresh sage leaves

Method
Allow two 1cm thick pork loin chops per person. Ask your butcher to trim the rind off each one.
Make sure the chops come out of the refrigerator a good half hour before cooking so they come to near room temperature. Season each one with a little salt and pepper on both sides.
Heat 1 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil in a heavy skillet until it easily slides around. Place the pork chops in the pan and fry for 2-3 minutes on the first side so the flesh is golden brown. Turn to cook the other side. Once turned, scatter a good handful of fresh sage leaves in the pan as well as 2/3 of a cup of pitted black olives (Ligurian taggiasche are ideal).
Fry for 2 minutes until the sage leaves are crisp then serve.
Serves 3.
