GET PORKED!
Not sure how to swoon your mate this Valentine's day? Here's an idea..make a great meal at HOME! We found an amazing recipe for Grilled Pork Chops with Adobo Paste in Gourmet Magazine (http://www.gourmet.com/). It's easier than you'd think to get piggy with it!
Here's what you do:
In a bowl or mortar and pestle, mix together:
2 1/2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
2 Tablespoons paprika
1 1/2 tablespoons dried oregano, crumbled
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 1/2 teaspoons dried hot red-pepper flakes
1 1/2 teaspoons finely grated fresh lime zest
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Mix together to form paste. Take pork chops (I purchased two for $5) and cover both sides with above rub. Light grill (we use Cowboy Brand all natural Hardwood Lump Charcoal from Lowe's). Place coals on one side of grill and put chops ontop of direct heat for two mintues each side, then place on indirect heat for ten minutes. Get ready to eat like a pig!
