MY 5-INGREDIENT PAN FRIED CHOPS, PASTA MEDLEY and AVOCADO

​Sometimes pork chops are so thick that makes then kind of hard to cook well done yet keep them tender. What I like to do is to cut the bone off, remove most of the fat and then slice in smaller thinner pieces. Not only they cook faster and stay tender but also they absorb the seasonings fast and very well.
 
Oh, and no, I don’t discard the bones. I season them thoroughly, pan seared to get them golden brown and use then in soups. Sooo Goood!
