Ingredients

• 4 pieces Pork chops (bone-in or boneless)
• 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 4 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
• 2 teaspoons Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Paprika (optional, for additional flavor)
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
• 4 pieces Lemon wedges (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, whisk together the minced garlic, olive oil, fresh lemon juice, dried oregano, paprika (if using), salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.

Step 2

Place the pork chops in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the pork chops, ensuring they are evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 8 hours for maximum flavor.

Step 3

When ready to cook, remove the pork chops from the refrigerator and allow them to come to room temperature for about 20 minutes.

Step 4

If grilling: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking. Grill the pork chops for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).

Step 5

If pan-frying: Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add a small amount of olive oil to the pan. Cook the pork chops for 5-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).

Step 6

Once cooked, let the pork chops rest for 5 minutes to retain their juices.

Step 7

Serve the Brizoles Hirines garnished with freshly chopped parsley and accompanied by lemon wedges. Pair with a side of Greek salad, roasted potatoes, or crusty bread for a complete meal.
