Bolivian Spiced Pork Chops image

This is great rub for pork chops! Be prepared for some real spice if you use the full 1/2 TBL of red pepper, I usually cut it back to about 1/2 tsp instead. This originally appeared in a South Beach Diet cookbook and is one of our favorites!

Time 1h

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 tablespoons ground cumin
3 teaspoons ground cardamom
3 teaspoons ground coriander
1/2 tablespoon ground red pepper
3 tablespoons lemon peel
1/2 tablespoon kosher salt
1/2 tablespoon pepper
6 pork loin chops, 1 1/2-inch thick
3 tablespoons roasted garlic oil or 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350.
  • In a large Ziplock bag combine cumin, cardamom, coriander, red pepper, lemon peel, salt, and pepper.
  • Place pork chops in bag one at a time and rub spices evenly over both sides.
  • Heat a skillet to medium-high heat.
  • Add the oil and sear the chops on both sides.
  • After they brown, put them on a half-sheet pan and finish them in the oven to desired tenderness. For thick chops, plan on 45 min to 1 hour. Cover with foil if tops seem to be getting too done.
