Mole Rubbed Pork Chops

Spices and seasonings… every pantry has them – what’s in yours? This past weekend I took on the task of organizing and restocking my spice drawer. I never realized how much spices I had on hand! I do think they are great to have on hand for quick and tasty ways to serve up various meats. A recent rub I made was for these Mole Rubbed Pork Chops. A blend of brown sugar, paprika, cumin, cocoa powder, chipotle chili peppers, garlic flakes, salt and pepper made a great rub for pork, leaving these flavorful, juicy and tender…

I found that coating pork chops with this easy rub a day in advance gave the pork a chance to really absorb the flavors. You can make this as a make ahead/freezer meal by coating the pork (or even chicken) and freeze. When you’re ready to prepare, defrost the seasoned meat and then proceed to cook on the grill or in a grill pan/skillet. The ease in preparing and cooking makes this a great dish on a busy weeknight!

    I have way too many spices. OR just the right amount of spices, but not enough space for them!
