PAN SEARED PORK CHOPS WITH GLAZED CARROTS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F Dredge the pork chops (or steaks) in the spices (except oil). Let them sit for about 30 minutes to absorb the flavor of the spices.

• Cut carrots into thin slices and toss them in a bowl with the thyme, olive oil, salt and pepper. Add the carrots to the saute pan with the pork chops.
• Place the saute pan into the oven for about 10 minutes or until chops are cooked thru.
• Remove the chops/steaks from the pan onto serving plates, and leaving the carrots, deglaze the pan with the orange juice.
• Place carrots atop the chops and drizzle with glaze.
