Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons canola oil, divided
  • 1 tablespoon chopped garlic
  • 2 teaspoons chile powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 (15-ounce) can chopped tomatoes
  • 1 1/2 pounds bone-in, end cut pork chops (about 5)
  • 1 head green cabbage
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons brown sugar

Directions

In a large resealable plastic bag, mix together 2 tablespoons oil, garlic, chile powder, red pepper flakes, and salt and pepper, to taste. Add half the can of tomatoes (reserve the remaining tomatoes for the Round 2 Recipe Beef and Bean Burritos). Add the pork chops, seal, and mix everything together. Put the bag into a bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to overnight.

Heat your outdoor grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat.

Remove the chops from the marinade and grill on medium-high heat, about 4 minutes per side. Pour the marinade into a saucepan, bring to boil, and cook until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.

While the pork chops are cooking, make the cabbage. Shred half the head of cabbage (reserve remaining half for Round 2 Recipe Beef and Bean Burrito). In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil. When it is hot, add the cabbage and cook until it starts to wilt, about 3 minutes. Then add the vinegar, brown sugar, and salt, to taste. Stir it well and cook until the cabbage is completely wilted and just tender, about 5 minutes.

Serve the pork chops on top of the cabbage and top with the cooked marinade. (Reserve 1 pork chop for the Online Round 2 Recipe Pork and Cornbread Bites.)

    This was so easy and tasted great! I added a can of rotel just so I would have plenty of sauce. Very spicy and delicious. Will make again.

    Wonderful and easy. Just get the marinade going and then you are ready. Fix the cabbage and cook the sause while the chops are grilling. Done
