• If you don't have a grill, you can also cook the pork chops in a skillet over medium-high heat for about 4-5 minutes per side.
• For extra flavor, you can sprinkle some fresh chopped herbs, such as parsley or cilantro, on top of the grilled pork chops before serving.

Storage and Serving

• Leftover Valencia Pork Chops can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• To reheat, place the pork chops in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes, or until heated through.
