How to Make Cuban Pork Chops With Mojo
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a medium frying pan over medium heat.
- Add 4 cloves minced garlic, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, and 1 teaspoon dried oregano. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
- Add ½ cup fresh lime juice and bring to a gentle boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 2-3 minutes, or until slightly thickened.
- Stir in 1 teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon black pepper. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
- Place 4 pork chops (about 1 inch thick) in a shallow dish. Pour the cooled Mojo sauce over the pork chops, ensuring they are fully coated.
- Cover the dish and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or preferably longer (up to 4 hours) for maximum flavor.
- Preheat grill or broiler to medium-high heat. Grill or broil the pork chops for 4-5 minutes per side, or until cooked through and internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Reheat the remaining Mojo sauce gently in a saucepan on low heat.
- Transfer the grilled pork chops to a serving plate. Pour the warmed Mojo sauce generously over the chops. Serve immediately with black beans and white rice.
