A delightful twist on classic pork chops, featuring a tangy and sweet citrus glaze.
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Preheating ensures even cooking and the right texture for your pork chops.
Season the flour with salt and pepper, then coat the pork chops evenly.
Shake off excess flour to prevent clumping during cooking.
Heat butter in a frying pan over medium heat and brown the pork chops on both sides.
Browning adds a rich flavor and seals in the juices.
Arrange the browned pork chops in a casserole dish.
Ensure the chops are in a single layer for even cooking.
Mix the brown sugar, ginger, orange zest, and juice in a bowl, then pour over the pork chops.
Use freshly squeezed orange juice for the best flavor.
Cover the dish with foil and bake for 45 minutes, turning the chops halfway through.
Check occasionally and add a splash of water if the glaze thickens too much.
Serve the pork chops with your choice of sides, such as rice or roasted vegetables.
Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley for a pop of color and flavor.
