Part 2/7:
The foundation of this dish is undeniably the pork chop. To begin, it's essential to remove the pork from the fridge about five minutes before cooking. Allowing the meat to reach room temperature helps prevent dryness during cooking. An important aspect to remember is that pork should be seasoned twice: once before cooking and again during the process. Generously season both sides of the chop with salt and pepper, ensuring the seasoning adheres well.
Before hitting the stove, let the chop sit for five minutes post-seasoning. This resting time not only tenderizes the meat but also further assists in reaching an ideal cooking temperature.
