Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces bone-in pork chops
- 3 pieces poblano peppers
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 pieces garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 piece lime (juiced)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro (chopped, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, minced garlic, ground cumin, smoked paprika, dried oregano, lime juice, salt, and black pepper.
Rub the seasoning mixture evenly onto both sides of the pork chops and the poblano peppers.
Place the pork chops on the grill. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
While grilling the pork, place the poblano peppers directly on the grill. Roast them, turning occasionally, until their skins are charred and blistered, about 6-8 minutes.
Once cooked, transfer the pork chops to a plate and let them rest for 5 minutes.
Place the charred poblano peppers in a bowl and cover tightly with plastic wrap. Let them sit for 5 minutes to steam, which will make the skins easier to remove.
After steaming, peel off the charred skins from the poblano peppers. Remove the stems and seeds, then slice the peppers into strips.
Serve the grilled pork chops with the roasted poblano strips on the side, and garnish with freshly chopped cilantro for a burst of flavor.
Enjoy your Grilled Pork and Poblano Peppers with your favorite side dish, such as rice, beans, or a fresh salad!
