This was my concern. Google indicates this might be a popular cut in Puerto Rico.

Puerto Rican restaurant near me does a chop like that

It’s called Porch Light Kitchen. Pretty sure they grill it then fry it or vice versa

My god that looks ridiculously good

You can make a single pot dish of pork chops and cabbage by trimming some of the fat off the chops and render it down to oil and brown your pork chops in the rendered lard. Season with salt, black and red pepper and a little Slap Ya Mamma, if you like. When chops are brown on both sides, move the chops to the side of the pot and add a diced onion, diced bell pepper and 1/2 sliced and seeded jalapeno and sauté on a med fire until soft. At this point, I start adding ice cubes, about 3 at a time, adding as they reduce to liquid to prevent the chops from scorching at the bottom of the pan. I do this about three times, then add enough water to just cover chop then add cabbage. Continue cooking until cabbage is soft and a light brown color.
There will be a nice gravy from the chops and the cabbage. Make a big pot of rice.

Can go cold pan, low heat, and slowly render the outside fat before turning the heat up and doing the sides. Or sous vide them then really blister that fat.
