Pork Chops With Lemon Butter - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 teaspoon vegetable oil
4 thin-cut pork loin chops with bone (about 1 1/4 pounds)
salt & freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 garlic clove, minced
2 tablespoons drained capers
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon chopped chives

Preparation

Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet. Lightly season the pork chops with salt and pepper and cook over high heat until browned, 3 to 4 minutes.
Turn the chops and sear until just cooked through, about 2 minutes; transfer to a platter.
Add the butter and garlic to the skillet and stir over moderate heat until the garlic softens, about 1 minute.
Stir in the capers, lemon juice and chives. Spoon the sauce over the chops and serve.
