Ingredients
1/2 cup fresh orange juice
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon cayenne
2 garlic cloves, chopped
1-2 tsp chopped fresh thyme
two 1-inch-thick rib or loin pork chops (about 1/2 pound each)
Preparation
Combine all ingredients except pork and mix well. Marinate the pork in the mixture for at least 30 minutes.
Remove the pork, reserving marinade, and cook in a grill pan or on the grill. Put the marinade in a small saucepan, simmer and reduce until a few tablespoons remain and sauce is thickened. Pour over pork chops while serving.
