chuletas, Pork Chops
- In a small bowl, combine the salt, pepper, garlic powder and cumin. Season the pork chops lightly on both sides with spice blend. Set aside. Reserve the remaining spice blend.
- In a large skillet preheat 3 tablespoons of oil to medium heat for 3 to 5 minutes. While pan heats up, in the blender, combine the tomatoes, 1/4 of onion, serrano peppers, garlic, bouillon, oregano, remaining spice blend and water. Blend on high until smooth, set aside.
- Sear and brown the pork chops for 3 to 4 minutes per side or until nicely browned. Remove pork from skillet onto a plate. In that same skillet, add the sliced onions and sauté for 3 minutes. Pour in the sauce from blender. Stir to combine, reduce heat to a simmer and let sauce cook for 5-6 minutes. Taste for salt.
- Add the pork back into the sauce and top cilantro. Cover partially with lid and continue cooking for 25 minutes. You want the sauce to reduce and thicken. Serve with rice, beans and warm tortillas.
