Trim fat from chops; season with salt and pepper. In skillet, heat oil over medium heat; cook chops, turning once, until browned outside and still pink inside, 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer chops to warmed platter.

Pour off fat from pan, leaving juices. Add garlic; fry for 30 seconds. Stir in vinegar, scraping up brown bits from bottom of pan; cook until thickened to glazelike consistency, 3 to 4 minutes. Add 2 tbsp (25 ‘mL) water, and anchovy paste (if using); cook for 1 minute. Remove from heat. Stir in parsley and butter until butter is melted. Pour over chops.
