Grilled Mojo Pork Chops

August 10, 2020 · 1 Comment

grilled mojo pork chops

Inspiration finds us at the strangest time. In this case I was lying on the couch trying to recover from a stomach bug. Not to get into detail here, but you know the kind of bug where food is the last thing on your mind. Well I’m weird, so I decided to watch that new movie “Chef” with Jon Favreau. I wasn’t thinking straight and the the first few minutes of food footage made my empty stomach turn, but something happened to me when he started cooking that delicious Cuban food for his new food truck concept. You see, I am a Tampa, Florida Native and Cuban food is something that I crave on a bi-weekly basis. When Jon was trying to come up with the perfect Cuban sandwich and they focused on that delicious mojo pork, I was suddenly hungry for the first time in 24 hours. I vowed right there on that comfy couch that Mojo pork would be the first meal I cooked once I felt like eating anything other than Saltine crackers. So here we are, my quick and easy recipe for mojo pork chops.

Man cannot live by pork chop alone. Every now and then you must sauce it up a bit. This smokey green sauce blends great with a pork chop. The combination of roasted poblano peppers, tomatillos and garlic make a savory sauce. This might also make a great base for a roasted corn and black bean salsa, which I might have to try some day soon. I'll let you know when I do. It's best to cook this recipe on a charcoal grill, so that the smokey flavor gets infused into the peppers and tomatillos and a side of mushrooms
