Yield 4 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 6 ounces center cut pork chops
3 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons soy sauce
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon grated ginger
1 teaspoon sambal (chili paste, optional)
Equal parts of: pepper, paprika, ground clove and cinnamon spices
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon oil for cooking

Steps:

Use paper towel to pat dry the pork. Mix all the other ingredients in a small bowl, except the oil for cooking. Place the pork chops in the bowl, cover them with the marinate and let it marinate at least 30 minutes, up to 12 hours' time permitting in the refrigerator. Preheat the oven to 375°. Use paper towel to pat the pork of any excess marinade. Heat the oil in a large ovenproof skillet over high heat, add the pork chops and reduce the heat to medium-high. Seat the pork on both sides, 2 minutes each side, and then baste them with the marinade. Place the pan in the oven. Cook for about 10 minutes, turning once and basting generously with marinade. Remove from the oven and tent the pork in aluminum foil until ready to serve.
