Lynn's Cuban Pork Chops
8 thin center cut pork chops
freshly ground black pepper to taste
salt to taste
4 x cloves garlic
1/4 tsp dried oregano
1/4 tsp ground cumin
1/2 cup Seville (sour) orange juice, OR
1/4 cup sweet orange juice
2 oz lime juice
2 oz lemon juice
2 lrg onions thinly sliced
1/4 cup pure Spanish olive oil
1/2 cup dry sherry
Method :
1. Season the chops with salt and pepper. In a mortar, crush the garlic,
oregano, and cumin together into a paste. Rub the chops with the garlic paste,
place in a nonreactive bowl, pour the orange juice over, and cover with the
sliced onions. Cover and refrigerate 2 to 3 hours.
2. Remove the chops from the marinade, pat dry with paper towels, and reserve
the marinade. In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat until fragrant,
then brown the chops on both sides. Add the sherry and reserved marinade,
including the onions, cover, and cook until the chops are tender, about 20
minutes. Serve hot, accompanied by Moros y Cristianos or Boniatos Fritos.
