Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 dried ancho chilies
2 tablespoons white distilled vinegar
2 garlic cloves
2 whole cloves
1/2 teaspoon ground oregano
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
4 4-ounce boneless pork loin chops
1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Heat heavy large skillet over medium heat; add chilies. Using spatula, press down on chilies until beginning to soften and darken, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer chilies to work surface; cool. Cut chilies in half lengthwise; remove seeds and stems and discard. Place in bowl. Add enough boiling water to cover; let stand until chilies soften, about 1 hour.
  • Drain chilies, reserving 1/2 cup soaking liquid. Place chilies in blender. Add vinegar, garlic, cloves, oregano, cinnamon, thyme and reserved soaking liquid. Blend until smooth paste forms, about 2 minutes. Arrange pork in shallow dish. Spoon chili paste over pork; turn to coat. Cover, chill at least 6 hours or overnight.
  • Heat oil in large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Remove pork from marinade, scraping off excess chili paste. Season pork with salt and pepper. Add pork to skillet; cook until brown and cooked through, about 5 minutes per side.

I followed the recipe exactly and the pork chops turned out tough and overcooked. I'm not sure what went wrong.

The marinade was a bit too spicy for me, but the pork chops were cooked perfectly. I served them with a side of rice and vegetables and it was a good meal.

These pork chops were a bit dry for my taste. I think I should have marinated them for longer. The flavor was good, though.
