01Spread chops between two layers of plastic wrap. Using rolling pin or kitchen mallet, pound them until they are all an even thickness. Place the chops in a single layer in a large glass dish.
02In small bowl, combine olive oil, garlic, chili flakes, oregano, zest, juice and olives. Pour mixture over chops. Season to taste with salt. Turn chops in the marinade to coat both sides. Cover with plastic wrap. Marinate for 1 to 2 hours at room temperature.
03Place large skillet over high heat, and add vegetable oil. Remove chops from marinade, scraping off excess, and place them in skillet; reserve marinade. Sear until browned, about 2 minutes a side. Reduce heat to medium, and add reserved marinade and 2 tablespoons water. Simmer until cooked to taste, about 5 minutes for rare chops.
