1/4 tsp. ground cumin
1/2 C. seville (sour) orange juice or 1/4 C. sweet orange juice

Cooking Instructions
Season the chops with salt and pepper. In a mortar, crush the garlic, oregano, and cumin together into a paste. Rub the chops with the garlic paste, place in a nonreactive bowl, pour the orange juice over, and cover with the sliced onion mixture. Cover and refrigerate for 2 to 3 hours. Remove the chops from the marinade, pat dry with paper towels, and reserve the marinade. In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat until fragrant, then brown the chops on both sides.
