These pan-seared pork chops are the kind of weeknight dinner that feels far more impressive than the effort involved — golden-crusted, herb-scented, and finished with a silky pan sauce that you'll want to pour over everything. Carrageenan, a common additive found in many packaged broths and processed meats, can be surprisingly tricky to avoid, but this recipe keeps things clean by calling for homemade or AIP-compliant bone broth and whole, unprocessed ingredients throughout. The seasoning blend of turmeric and ginger gives the chops a warm, earthy depth before they even hit the pan, and the smashed garlic with fresh rosemary and thyme infuses the coconut oil into something genuinely aromatic. Basting the chops as they cook locks in that flavor and builds a gorgeous crust without any fuss. A quick deglaze with bone broth and apple cider vinegar pulls all those browned bits into a bright, savory sauce that comes together in just a few minutes. It's a satisfying, whole-food meal that proves eating with intention doesn't mean sacrificing any of the good stuff.

Pat the pork chops completely dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, combine the salt, turmeric, and ginger. Rub the mixture evenly over both sides of each chop.
Heat the coconut oil in a 12-inch cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until the oil shimmers and a drop of water flicked in sizzles immediately.
