Expert Tips

Cumin, or comino, has a long culinary history dating back to the Old Testament. Its aromatic, nutty flavor, whether ground or in the form of a seed, is a common ingredient in southwestern, Middle Eastern, Asian and Mediterranean cuisine.

Place chops on a serving platter, and garnish with fresh cilantro sprigs and small clusters of red and green chilies.

I like to cook, but most of the time fail to plan ahead so I'm scrambling to find something to make at the last minute. I found this recipe around 4 and had dinner on the table shortly after 6. It helps that we had all the ingredients on hand. I'be been looking for a good pork chop rub. My wife and I, and our oldest son (10)loved it. My daughter (12) and other son (7) thought it was "OK". Just the right amount spice. This would probably even work with chicken. Will definitly make again!

So-so...will try again, most likely I didn't care for these because I added ingredients to the recipe.
