4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
½ cup bone broth
3 tbsp fresh lemon juice (from about 1 large lemon)

2 tbsp capers, drained and rinsed
1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves

Instructions

1
Pat the pork chops thoroughly dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, stir together the salt, turmeric, and ginger, then rub the mixture evenly over both sides of each chop.
2
Heat 1 tbsp of the olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the pork chops in a single layer and sear undisturbed for 4–5 minutes, until the underside is deep golden and releases easily from the pan.
