Pork Chops and Poblano Rellenos

R.I.P. 5/17/2021
We recently bought 5 lbs. of Bone In Loin Chops from Shasta College Farm. They raise and butcher their own meat and were having a sale. For my 4,000th post I decided to team a couple of these chops with Poblano Rellenos.

Just under a pound each.





Seasoned the chops with a paste made from S&P, Smoked Paprika, Onion Powder, Chipotle Powder, Mexican Oregano, Cayenne and Garlic Powder. In fridge for about 6 hours.



Ingredients for Rellanos



Roasted the tomatoes and poblanos.





Some white onion.



Skinned the peppers.



Blended the tomatoes and one chipotle pepper in adobo sauce in the food processor. After blended I heated mixture in sauce pan to thicken.



Meanwhile mixed one cup of long grained rice with raisins, goat cheese and the sautéed onion.

Poblanos ready for the grill.





Chops on



Didn't have my heat distributed very well. Chop on left cooked faster.



Finished up the second chop.



Poblanos all warmed up.



Plated



These were the best pork chops we've ever had. Teamed nicely with the Rellenos too. Thanks for looking.

That's an EXCELLENT lookin' meal! Great minds MUST travel in like circles. Just last night I mentioned to my wife that we needed to grill some "spiced" pork chops and here you are!

I'll be doing mine in a day or so but I doubt I'll top this...

Keep on smokin',

WOW! Cliff, those are fantastic chops and the peppers out of sight. You nail that one for sure awesome.
 
That's amazing, those chops looked good enough to eat just in the rub after 8 in the fridge. You're really putting out some amazing cooks Cliff. I'm thinking you need some company up there for the day :)
 
Great cook!!! I'm a fool for rellenos. Yours looks totally delish!
The pork chops, too.
I'm going to cook something similar for my wife!
