Pork Chops

2 pork chops (about 1 inch thick)
4 tsp almond meal (or pecan)
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp oregano, basil or mix
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper

Preheat oven to 425. Combine the almond meal and spices in a small bowl. Coat both sides of the pork chops well.

In a cast iron skillet, heat a bit of oil until warmed, over medium heat. Add the pork chops and sear for 3 minutes on each side.

After searing, place pork chops on a rack over a baking sheet. Place in oven and bake for 7 minutes, or until pork chops feel firm. Let sit for up to 5 minutes before serving.
