Pork Chops Adobado

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 to 5 large garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano or 1 tablespoon fresh
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper, or to taste

Instructions

  1. If you're grilling the chops, heat grill as necessary.

  5. Serve with yellow rice and sliced tomatoes.
