Dinner Tonight: Grilled Pork Chops Marinated In Mojo Recipe
- 2 thick-cut pork chops, preferable bone-in, about 1 pound total
- 5 cloves garlic
- 1 1/2 tablespoons dried oregano
- 5 tablespoons olive oil
- Juice of 1 juicing orange
- Juice of 2 limes
- 1/8 teaspoon cumin
- Salt and pepper to taste
- In a small food processor or blender, puree the garlic, oregano, olive oil, lime juice, cumin, pinch of salt and pepper, and all but 1/4 cup of the orange juice. Adjust the seasoning if necessary, and reserve a couple tablespoons of the mojo sauce (for spreading on the chops post-cooking).
- In a non-reactive bowl, whisk the mojo sauce with the remaining orange juice. Add the pork chops, cover with plastic, and marinate in the liquid for as long as you can bear, at least 20 minutes, even better, two hours. Turn occasionally.
- Heat a cast iron skillet with a film of oil, or a grill pan, until very hot. Cook the chops to desired doneness, 5-7 minutes per side for medium.
- Spoon reserved mojo over the chops and serve.
