  3. Place brine in a plastic bowl. Allow brine to cool. Add ice to cool completely..
  4. Add chops in brine with additional ice if needed and refrigerate for 2 to 4 hours. Ideally you'll want your brine at 36°.
  5. Pull your chops rinse and pat dry. Season as desired. Allow chops to come to room temperature.
  6. Coat chops with oil and generously season all sides. Especially with fresh ground black pepper.
  7. Preheat oven to 350°.

  9. Sear your chops on all sides. About 2 1⁄2 minutes on each side. Try not to flip too early. You want a solid char on your meat.

Fresh baked French bread and a chilly acidic salad to cut the richness of the pork are also great ideas. I have several chilly, crispy, citrus acid based salad recipes under my profile if you're interested.
