PORK CHOPS

Season 4 boneless pork loin chops, 8 oz (250 g) each, with salt and pepper. Heat 2 tbsp (30 mL) vegetable oil in a large nonstick frying pan over high heat. Sear pork until nicely browned but still rare inside, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer pork to plate. Reduce heat to medium-low. Add ½ cup (125 mL) chicken stock or water. Stir in 2 cups (500 mL) Mole Verde. Return pork to pan and cover. Cook, turning occasionally, until pork is medium, 5 to 7 minutes. (An instantread thermometer inserted horizontally into centres will read 130°F (54°C). Transfer pork to serving platter. Keep sauce warm over low heat. Rest pork 5 minutes, top with sauce, and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds, if desired. Serves 4
