   **Brine Ingredients:**

   3 TBSP kosher salt

   3 TBSP Swerve brown

   4 cups water

   1 sprig fresh thyme

   1 smashed garlic clove

   **Ingredients:**

   2 – ¾” bone in pork chops

   1 tsp. onion salt

   1 tsp. garlic powder

   1 tsp. fresh cracked pepper

   ¼ cup carbalose flour

   Oil for frying

   **Directions:**

   Dissolve the salt and Swerve Brown in the 4 cups of water.

   Place the pork chops, thyme and clove in a Ziploc bag, pour in the brine.

   Seal the bag, burping out the air as you seal.

   Rest in the fridge for 2 hours.

   Drain the chops in a colander.

   **Prep The Seasoning:**

   Place the onion powder, garlic powder, pepper and flour into a paper bag.

   Add the pork chops to the bag and shake to evenly coat.

   Rest on a plate while the oil heats up.

   **Frying the pork chops:**

   Using a heavy cast iron pan or Dutch oven, heat about an inch of oil to 350°.

   Fry the chops to a crispy golden brown, flipping once.

   Serve warm with caulimac N’ cheese on the side.

   Chayote applesauce goes well with the crispy chops too.

   **Notes:**

   My oil of choice is a refined coconut oil
