Grilled Cuban Pork Chops

Cuban spiced foods are very popular these days.  I found this recipe for pork chops and thought it looked good and couldn't wait to try it.

This recipe doesn't require much.  I did leave off the olive oil in the picture.

You will want to mix up the rub in a bowl.  Start with  1 teaspoon ground cumin.  You can use cumin seed if you have them.

1/2 teaspoon salt

Grind up some fresh black pepper.

Add 1 Tablespoon cracked black pepper.

Zest some lime 

Add 2 Tablespoons of lime zest.

The recipe calls for 1 clove garlic finely chopped.  I added 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder.

Mix well.

Add 2Tablespoons olive oil.

Mix well.

Put the rub on both sides of the pork chops.  Then grill.  I used the George Forman instead of firing up the grill.

Cook until juices run clear.

Serve with some black beans and rice.
