Step-by-Step Preparation:
Marinate the chops:
In a bowl, combine the chopped garlic, cumin, oregano, salt, pepper, lemon juice (or vinegar), and 1 tablespoon of oil.
Brush the chops well with this mixture and let them marinate for at least 30 minutes (ideally 1 hour or more in the refrigerator).
Cook the chops:
Heat a large skillet with the remaining tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat.
Place the chops and brown them on both sides (about 3-4 minutes per side).
If they are thick, reduce the heat, cover the skillet, and cook for 5-10 more minutes until cooked through.
(Optional) Deglaze:
If you want more flavor, you can add white wine or broth at the end of cooking to make a light sauce. Scrape the bottom of the pan and let it reduce slightly.
