These pan-seared pork chops are the kind of weeknight dinner that feels far more impressive than the effort involved — deeply golden on the outside, juicy all the way through, and finished with a glossy, herb-infused pan sauce that you'll want to pour over everything. A simple rub of sea salt, turmeric, and ginger gives the meat a warm, aromatic crust before it ever hits the skillet, and the cast iron does the heavy lifting from there. Smashed garlic, rosemary, and thyme go in alongside the chops and perfume the coconut oil as you baste, building layers of flavor without a single complicated step. The quick pan sauce — made with bone broth and a splash of apple cider vinegar — pulls up all those caramelized bits from the bottom of the pan and reduces into something genuinely restaurant-worthy. For anyone navigating lupin-free eating, this recipe is naturally free of the legume-derived flour and fillers that sneak into so many seasoning blends, coatings, and store-bought sauces. Every ingredient here is straightforward and easy to verify, so there's no guesswork about what's actually on your plate. Finish with a scatter of fresh parsley and let the chops rest just long enough for the juices to settle — then dig in.

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.
