Cuban Mojo Marinated Pork Chops – Cook Eat Run

I am in search of new grilling and marinade recipes.  Sometimes it is easy to get stuck doing the same ol same ol every day.  This marinade is a little sweet and tangy at the same time.  It would also be great on chicken or swordfish.  We all agreed it should be in the rotation!

Cuban Marinated Pork Chops

• ¾ cup extra virgin olive oil
• ¾ cup orange juice
• ½ cup lime juice
• 1 cup cilantro
• ¼ mint
• 8 garlic cloves
• 1 Tbsp oregano
• 1 Tbsp cumin
• 1 Tbsp orange zest
• 8 pork chops

1. Place extra virgin olive oil thru cumin in a food processor and run until it is finely chopped. Add the marinade to a zip lock bag. Add the zest to the bag and season with salt and pepper.
2. Add the pork chops and marinate at least 30 minutes and up to 2 hours.
3. Grill at high temperature until cooked through, 8- 10 minutes.
