- Serve the lemon pepper pork chops hot, with the pan sauce spooned over the top.
Lemon pepper pork chops have a rich history, with roots in Southern cuisine. This dish gained popularity in the 1980s, with chefs like Emeril Lagasse and Paula Deen incorporating it into their menus. The tangy citrus flavor of lemon combined with the bold kick of black pepper creates a tantalizing taste experience. Today, the best versions of this dish can be found in Southern restaurants, particularly in regions like Georgia and Louisiana. The key to perfecting this dish lies in the balance of zesty lemon and piquant pepper, ensuring a juicy and flavorful pork chop. For a unique twist, some chefs also grill the pork chops to add a smoky dimension to the dish.
