About the dish

Chuletas de puerco is a traditional way of preparing pork chops. The dish is made with a combination of pork chops, cumin, oregano, garlic, sour oranges, olive oil, onions, and seasonings. The meat is marinated in a mixture of sour orange juice, garlic, oregano, and seasonings. Once fully marinated, the pork chops are fried in olive oil on both sides, then topped with sautéed onions and pan juices. This dish is characterized by the use of traditional Cuban spices such as sour orange juice, cumin, and oregano. Once served, it is often enjoyed with rice and beans on the side. A dish with the same name is often eaten in Mexico, and it's usually prepared with tomato salsa.
