Thyme pork chop with broccoli

From our earlier recipe collection. Updated 9 October 2026.

An occasional pork meal can fit a varied menu. Our main guides emphasise vegetables, fish and other varied protein sources.

Ingredients

• 1 pork chop
• A little olive oil
• A few sprigs of fresh thyme
• Broccoli, to serve
• A lemon wedge

Method

1. Heat a little olive oil in a frying pan and brown the chop on both sides.
2. Reduce the heat and cook, turning occasionally, until cooked through. Timing depends on thickness; do not rely on a fixed time alone. Follow the pack's cooking instructions and check that the centre is steaming hot with no pink meat and juices running clear.
3. Add thyme towards the end. Serve with cooked broccoli and a wedge of lemon.
