How to Make Pork Chops In Adobo Sauce

  1. Prepare the Adobo Sauce: Clean and finely chop 4 ancho peppers. Pour 1 cup of boiling water over them and let soak for 1 hour, or until softened. Meanwhile, in a blender, combine 1 medium onion (chopped), 1 cup tomato sauce, ½ cup white vinegar, 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, ½ teaspoon ground cumin, 4 cloves garlic (minced), and the soaked ancho peppers. Add a pinch of salt to taste and blend until completely smooth.
  2. Sear the Pork Chops: Season 4 pork chops (about 1 inch thick) generously with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork chops for 2-3 minutes per side, until lightly browned.
  3. Simmer in Adobo Sauce: Pour the adobo sauce into the skillet. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for approximately 45 minutes, or until the pork chops are tender and cooked through. Flip the chops halfway through.
  4. Garnish and Serve: Once cooked, arrange the pork chops on a platter lined with lettuce leaves. Garnish with sliced avocado, radish roses, and a dollop of sour cream. Serve immediately and enjoy!
