Rubbing the pork

Rubbing the pork

Here we are in the dog days of summer.  I must admit it's been wonderful.  We have a good friend staying with us from ole blighty, we have been getting into all kinds of daring capers and having lots of laughs. Including days of Salsa dancing, sailing and sausages. But I was getting short of ideas on what to make for dinner tonight. Although the pork chops looked quite good on their own.  Nothing beats a tasty rub on your meat.

Take 6 good size pork chops

In a bowl mix together 2 teaspoons of ground cumin,

2 teaspoons of oregano,

Juice of 2 limes,

2 tablespoons of olive oil,

A pinch of hot pepper flakes

Mix these together to make a paste and rub it into your meat.

Cover and marinade for several hours before barbecuing over hot coals.

As it was a super hot day and I didn't want to heat the house up I wrapped sliced potatoes, onions and garlic in foil wrap packages with a little s & p and then made another package up with corn, carrots, onions and green peppers.

And now you know how to rub your pork!

Enjoy.
