HOW TO MAKE ROASTED PORK CHOPS WITH LEMON

Step 1: Place the chops on a baking dish and season with lemon juice, salt, pepper, nutmeg, paprika, sliced garlic and bay leaves. Let marinate for about 1 hour.

Step 2: Preheat the oven to 180ºC (350ºF).

Occasionally, drizzle the chops with the sauce.

Step 4: Turn off the oven and serve the chops with mashed potatoes or white rice.

TIPS FOR ROASTED PORK CHOPS WITH LEMON

1. If the chops starts to golden brown too much cover with aluminum foil.

2. We usually roast the chops at 180ºC (350ºF) but, if you lower the temperature to 150ºC (300ºF), despite taking longer to roast, it has the advantage of enhancing the flavors much more and the meat gets more tender.

3. If you have leftovers, store the meat in the fridge in a properly covered container (to prevent the growth of microorganisms). To avoid drying out the meat, do not reheat the food in the oven, reheat it in the microwave.
