Cuban Pork Chops
Preparation time: 10 minutes plus 1 hour marinating time
Cooking time: 15 minutes
Serves 2
- Finely grated zest and juice of 1 large lime or 2 small limes
- Finely grated zest and juice of 1 orange
- 2 garlic cloves, peeled and finely diced
- 1 tablespoon dried onions
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground white pepper
- 50g/1.7ozs. butter
- 2 pork loin chops (weighing about 700g/1.5lbs total)
- Salt to season
Step 1 - Mix the zests and juices in a bowl. Add the garlic, onions, cumin and white pepper. Marinade the pork chops in this mixture for 1-6 hours (you can also do this overnight).
Step 2 - Heat half of the butter in a frypan on medium to high heat and fry the pork chops. It will take a while to cook them through as they're quite thick (about 6-7 minutes on each side). Serve with garlic mashed potato.
