Celery Free Garlic Herb Pan-Seared Pork Chops

These pan-seared pork chops are the kind of weeknight dinner that feels far more impressive than the effort involved. A simple rub of sea salt, turmeric, and ginger gives each chop a gorgeous golden crust, while smashed garlic, rosemary, and thyme perfume the coconut oil into something truly aromatic. The basting step — tilting the pan and spooning that herb-infused oil over the chops as they cook — is the secret to keeping the meat juicy and building serious depth of flavor. Once the chops rest, a quick pan sauce made from bone broth and apple cider vinegar comes together in minutes, lifting all those caramelized bits from the skillet into something rich and glossy. Celery and celery derivatives are nowhere near this recipe, so there's no need to scrutinize labels or worry about hidden ingredients sneaking into your plate. It's a clean, satisfying meal that works beautifully on its own or alongside roasted vegetables and a simple salad. The fresh parsley finish is optional, but that little pop of green makes the whole dish look like it came straight out of a restaurant kitchen.
