These pan-seared pork chops are the kind of weeknight dinner that feels far more impressive than the effort involved — a deep golden crust, fragrant garlic, and a glossy pan sauce that practically makes itself. The seasoning blend of turmeric and ginger gives the meat a warm, subtly earthy depth that pairs beautifully with the rosemary and thyme infused into the coconut oil as everything sears together. For anyone navigating emulsifier-free eating, this recipe is a natural fit because every single ingredient is whole and unprocessed — no store-bought sauces, no packaged spice blends, nothing hiding a stabilizer or additive on a back label. The pan sauce comes together from bone broth and apple cider vinegar, deglazing all those caramelized bits from the cast iron for a rich, savory finish that needs absolutely nothing else to hold it together. Basting the chops with the infused oil as they cook keeps the meat juicy and pulls all those herb and garlic flavors right into the surface. A five-minute rest before serving makes sure every bite stays tender and the sauce clings perfectly when spooned over the top.

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.
