Time 1h40m

Number Of Ingredients 20

MARINADE
1 c orange juice
1/2 c pineapple juice
1/4 c white vinegar
juice from 2 limes
RUB
1 1/2 tsp ground cumin
1 Tbsp garlic powder
1 Tbsp dried minced onion
1 Tbsp black pepper
1 1/2 Tbsp salt
1 1/2 Tbsp oregano
IN FRY PAIN
6 large 1 inch thick pork chops with bones
3 Tbsp oil for frying
1/4 c chopped red onion
2 Tbsp minced garlic
1/2 c white wine
1/2 c orange juice
juice from 1 more lime

Steps:

  • 1. mix marinade, pour into ziplock bag with pork chops and put in fridge for 1/2 to 2 hours
  • 2. remove pork chops from bag, disgard juice and bag. Pat chops dry with paper towels
  • 3. heat oil in fry pan
  • 4. note---I had to use 2, side-by-side fry pans to make 6 large chops
  • 5. rub both sides of each chop with the pre-mixed rub.
  • 6. in each hot fry pan place 3 chops. fry for a few minutes until 1st side is seared.
  • 7. flip chops, add onions all around the edges and middle, wherever you can fit them
  • 8. lower heat and cook for 2 or 3 more minutes, add garlic and cook until garlic starts to become brown.
  • 9. note--- the trick here is to sear both sides of these chops nicely before deglazing.
  • 10. add wine, orange juice and lime juice, lower heat to simmer.
  • 11. slowly simmer for about another 5 to 7 minutes on each side. remove chops and plate.
  • 12. return pan to stove with gravy and onions. return heat to boil, then lower again and reduce by about half. spoon over pork chops.
