Cooks' note:

If you aren't able to grill outdoors, pork chops can be seared in a hot lightly oiled well-seasoned ridged grill pan over moderately high heat, turning over once, until well browned, about 6 minutes total, then transferred to a shallow baking pan and roasted in middle of a preheated 450°F oven, without turning over, until thermometer registers 150°F, 15 to 20 minutes. *Available at Latino markets and many supermarkets.
