Spicy marinated pork chops


Ingedients:


Two thin cut bone in pork chops

1 & 1/2 cup of pineapple juice
1 jalepeno finely chopped
1 Table spoon of seasoning salt or your favorite dry mixed herbs mixed with 2 tsp of sea salt.
1/2 teaspoon of crushed black pepper.



Preheat the oven to 450.
Take the pork chops and generously sprinkle with herb salt and black pepper on both sides.

Let the seasoned meat rest for a few minutes

Pour the pineapple juice and chopped jalepeno pepper/including seeds into a small mixing bowl.

Place the pork chops into the bowl making sure they are covered with the pineapple juice mixture. Let the pork chops marinate for about 5 min.

Heat a large skillet on medium high and pour one tablespoon in olive oil into pan
Lightly sear the meat for about 60 seconds on each side. Double the time for thicker cuts of meat.
Place the pork chops into the oven on a small baking sheet close to the heat.

Bake for 4 minutes, turn the meat over and bake for another 4 minutes.

Serve immediately with fresh vegetables, squash or potatoes

The pork chops should be tender, slightly sweet and spicy.

Don't fret tinkerer, I lived in an old run down house with no stove. I soon found that an electric skillet can do wonders.

I'm not sure if they allow that sort of thing in your dorm or not.

Unfortunately, no. They're more than a bit anal-retentive about anything that might be the teensiest bit prone to fire, even candles and the solar oven I tried to cobble together out of tinfoil and a shoebox. If they weren't, I'd be cooking my own meals more often than eating in the cafeteria.

But I'm writing these down in my cookbook for when I get a place of my own, or for when I go home on break. (My dad's going to be thrilled, especially if the recipe involves tomatoes or anything that makes your eyes water.) And keeping my eyes open for anything I could modify as a cooking utensil.
