Bolivian Spiced Pork Chops

• 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

1. Preheat oven to 350.
2. In a large Ziplock bag combine cumin, cardamom, coriander, red pepper, lemon peel, salt, and pepper.
3. Place pork chops in bag one at a time and rub spices evenly over both sides.
4. Heat a skillet to medium-high heat.
5. Add the oil and sear the chops on both sides.
6. 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.
