Butterflied Cuban Style Pork Chops

Apple Cake

This delectable Apple Cake has a slightly crunchy crust and a soft moist center that is loaded with chunks of sweet apple and pecans. It is perfectly spiced with cinnamon, ground cloves and nutmeg. It is lightly drizzled with an easy four ingredient caramel sauce. I make this cake several times each fall for bake sales, potlucks and family and friend get-togethers.

Easy Ratatouille

This easy ratatouille recipe is a classic summer French stew filled with vibrant, colourful and nutritious vegetables: tomatoes, zucchini and eggplant. It is a low-carb, gluten-free and vegan dish that can be made in one pan and served atop greens or grains, as a side to a main entrée, or all on its own.

I also left out the cumin (I highly dislike the smell and taste of it). These pork chops are delicious! I was leery of the pickle, but it turned out to be my favorite part. My family loved the chops!

Made this with boneless chops, butterflied and pounded out. Left off the cumin in the marinade (personal choice), but did add lemon juice as the limes I purchased did not have much juice for some reason. I grilled them inside, on a grill pan, after they had marinated for 1.5 hours. Grilled them open and flat, 3 minutes on each side, removed and added cheese and pickle, then folded over, the heat nicely melted the cheese. I left off the ham (again, personal choice).
For the marinade/dressing, at the end, for the table, I again added lemon juice to supplement the lime juice. I also added a teaspoon of yellow mustard as Cuban sandwiches have mustard on them. I left the cilantro out as 2 members of the family don’t like cilantro.
This meal was light and refreshing and will be added to the recipe rotation in our house. Very good!! Thanks.
