Cuban Spiced Pork Chops
This is the perfect recipe for those who love the flavors of a classic cuban pork roast but are cooking in small quantities. Typical of cuban fare, these are full of tropical flavors but not spicy. The garlic and lime pair beautifully in a fragrant marinade. though you can marinade as briefly as an hour, for best results let the pork soak up to 6-8 hours. (don't marinade overnight as the citrus cooks the pork over longer periods). Serve these with my almost fried plantains #134349 for a delightful healthy meal.
