1 tablespoon cumin seeds, toasted and coarsely ground
1 tablespoon coriander seeds, toasted and coarsely ground
3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 (3/4-inch-thick) pork chops
2 tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh cilantro
Garnish: lime wedges
Directions
Combine cumin, coriander, garlic, and 1 tablespoon oil. Pat pork chops dry and season with salt and pepper. Rub spice mixture on both sides of chops.
Heat remaining tablespoon oil in a large heavy skillet over moderate heat until hot but not smoking, then cook chops until just cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes on each side.
Serve pork chops sprinkled with cilantro and garnish with lime wedges.
