NotesTaking pork chops from the fridge and immediately cooking them in a hot pan or putting them into a hot oven is generally a no-no. Let it rest for a couple of minutes to get to room temperature.
You can omit the cayenne pepper and change it to a more subtle flavor like star anise if you prefer a mild version of this dish.
