Cuban-Style Pork Chops
Cuban-Style Pork Chops
Cuban-style pork chops are marinated in sour orange juice, white wine, a lot of garlic, cumin, and oregano. The pork gets seared for a few minutes a side, then removed from the pan. Onions are sautéed, then quickly simmered with the reserved marinade with the pork chops finishing off in the citrusy sauce.
