Grilled pork Chops, Cuban-style

2.While the unit is preheating, put all of the “chips” ingredients into one mixing bowl and toss, and all of the onion rings ingredients into a separate bowl and toss.

3.Once the unit has preheated, place the potatoes on the hot griddle side and the onions on the hot grill side.

4.The potatoes will take about 8 to 10 minutes per side – you want them to be very crispy so you may have to grill in batches in single layers. The onions will take about 5 minutes per side, or until grill marks are well defined.

5.Remove and serve immediately, sprinkling with more salt if desired.

Plate Side: Grill

Makes 4 servings

4thick-cut boneless pork chops, about 2½ pounds in total

¼ cup olive oil

½ teaspoon dried oregano

½ teaspoon ground cumin ¼ to ½ teaspoon kosher salt

pinch freshly ground black pepper

1.Put all of the ingredients in a shallow glass baking dish, turning chops to coat. Cover and marinate for 1 to 2 hours.

2.Once pork has marinated, fit the Griddler® Deluxe with the grill plates and preheat both plates to 425˚F.

3.Place the chops on the preheated lower grill plate. Close the unit and using the cover height adjuster, adjust the upper plate so it is just resting on top of the chops. Grill for about 7 minutes, depending on thickness, or until the internal temperature registers 130˚F.

4.Remove chops from grill and let rest until internal temperature is about 140˚F.

Serving tips: These are great with spicy grilled potatoes and vegetables. Thinly sliced, they are perfect for our Cuban Sandwich on page 14.
