Instructions
Step 1
Generously season eight 5-7 oz. pork chops with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Step 2
Heat 2 tbsp. lard or vegetable oil in a large cast-iron or other heavy skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 3
Working in 3 batches, fry pork chops until golden brown on on side, about 5 minutes, then turn chops and fry for 2-3 minutes more. Add 1 more tbsp. lard or vegetable oil to skillet between batches.
Step 4
Transfer chops to a warm platter as finished cooking. Serve with yellow hot relish, if you like.
