In the time of kings and queens, gems were used for more than just adornments. In many cases, precious stones were seen as a symbol of lineage and as a sign for the right to rule, such as the gems set in crowns and scepters.
Dredge each side of the pork chops in the flour mixture, then set aside on a plate. Heat canola oil over medium to medium-high heat. Add butter. When butter is melted and butter/oil mixture is hot, cook 3 pork chops at a time, 2 to 3 minutes on the first side; 1 to 2 minutes on the other side.
Pork chops do not come in a standard size. It is the thickness, not the weight, that makes the difference when grilling. For a half-inch-thick pork chop, it will take about five to seven minutes on direct high heat. High heat is around 450 degrees Fahrenheit on the grill. A three-quarters-inch thick pork chop will take around six to eight minutes on high heat. A 1-inch pork chop will cook in about eight to 10 minutes on direct medium heat. Medium heat on a grill is between 350 and 450 degrees. For a pork chop that is 1Â¼ to 1Â½ inches thick, sear each side for a total of six minutes on high heat, then finish grilling over medium heat for another four to six minutes.
