Add to favorites
Plan Z Phase: This is a Z2 (ZReduction) recipe. This southwestern dish will satisfy your cravings for a little bit of spice and a lot of flavor.
Servings: Serves 4
Ingredients:
- 4 pork loin chops
- 2 tsp of chili powder
- ½ tsp of ground cumin
- A generous pinch of cinnamon
- Olive oil spray
- Grated sea salt
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
In a small bowl mix the chili powder, cumin and cinnamon. Rub the mixture on top of your chops. Heat a cast iron pan. Lightly spray with olive oil and put the chops in plain side down.
Sear on medium high for 3 minutes. This gives that side a good crust.
Turn the chops over and put them in the oven. If you are not using cast iron you’ll have to transfer the chops into an ovenproof container. Roast the chops at 400 degrees for 20 minutes or until the measure 160 degrees with a meat thermometer. The rub will have penetrated the meat and you’ll have a satisfying meal. Serve with salad and veggie.
Enjoy!
Cheers,
Roasted Prime Rib
When I was a kid this was served at very special meals. My mother made hers plain. I had no idea how incredibly fabulous this meat could taste until I started adding the meat rub!
Zola-fied Berghoff Spinach
The Berghoff is a famous Chicago restaurant. Their creamed spinach is an institution in itself. This is my ZReduction version.
This was amazing!! Loved the flavor and the cinnamon gave it just the hint of sweet that was needed! Not to over powering! We grilled ours and it really brought out that smoky flavor. Great recipe! Will be making this again. Might use the spice rub on chicken too!!
