3
Prepare quince

Peel, core, and cut the quince into 1/2-inch thick slices.

4
Brown pork chops

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the pork chops and cook for 4-5 minutes per side or until browned. Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set them aside.

Pour the water into the skillet and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let the pork chops and quince simmer for 30-35 minutes or until the pork is tender and the quince is softened.
