Where to find ingredients
Pork chops, salt, sugar, paprika, bay leaves, olive oil, black pepper, and sage can be found in supermarkets, markets, and meat shops in Guyana; dried sage may be easier to find than fresh in some areas.
Preparation method
- Place the pork chops in a medium bowl
- Spread the salt, sugar, and paprika over all the meat
- Massage the seasonings into the pork chops so the flavour can penetrate
- Add the bay leaves and pour in the water until the meat is submerged
- Cover the bowl with a plate
- Leave to marinate for 20 minutes at room temperature so the meat can hydrate
- Remove the pork chops from the marinade with tongs
- Dry the pieces carefully with paper towel until all moisture is removed
- Place a large frying pan over medium heat
- Pour in the olive oil once the surface is very hot
- Put the pork chops in the pan, leaving space between them
- Sprinkle with black pepper to taste
- Add the sage sprigs to the pan beside the meat
- Grill for about 3 minutes on each side, until golden
- Serve the dish immediately
Observations
This recipe uses a quick marinade that helps keep the meat tender while it cooks in the frying pan. The contrast between paprika, the fresh aroma of sage, and the earthy touch of bay leaf creates a balanced dish, perfect for quick everyday meals.
