A delightful recipe for tender and flavorful pork chops marinated with garlic and spices, perfect for any occasion.
Peel and finely mince the fresh garlic cloves.
Using fresh garlic enhances the flavor profile significantly.
In a mixing bowl, combine the minced garlic, dry white wine, ground black pepper, and coarse sea salt.
Whisk the mixture thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are well blended.
Place the pork chops in a marinating container and pour the marinade over them, ensuring they are fully coated.
For best results, use a resealable plastic bag to evenly distribute the marinade.
Seal the container and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
The longer the marination, the deeper the flavors will infuse into the pork chops.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Ensure the oven is fully preheated before placing the pork chops inside.
Place the marinated pork chops on a baking tray and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until fully cooked.
Use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
Serve the pork chops hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
Pair with a side of your choice, such as roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes, for a complete meal.
