Cooking Steps
- Before starting, preheat the oven to 450°F.
Wash and dry all produce. - To a medium pot, add 3/4 cup (1 1/2 cups) water and 1/8 tsp (1/4 tsp) salt. Cover and bring to a boil over high.
- Once boiling, add bulgur. Cover, remove from heat and let stand for 15-16 min, until bulgur is tender and liquid is absorbed.
- Pat pork chops dry with paper towels. Season with Smoked Paprika-Garlic Blend.
- Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high.
When hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) olive oil, then pork chops. Pan-fry 1-2 min per side, until golden. - Remove from heat, then transfer pork chops to an unlined baking sheet. Roast in the top of the oven for 7-10 min, until cooked through.**
