Pork chops rubbed with Ethiopian spice


Ethiopian Spice Rub, Mitmita is an aromatic  spice blend made of  birdseye chili, cardamon, ginger, cloves and other spices which gives any dish a good color as well as the heat. It is usually served with Kitfo (lamb) but can be used in chicken, in lentils, in dips, sprinkled on baked potatoes, vegetables or can be added to salad dressings.

Ingredients:

2 pork chops
1 Tbsp Mitmita spice blend
1/2 tsp garlic powder
salt and pepper

Method:

Rub the salt, pepper, garlic powder and mitmita onto the pork chop. Let marinate for on hour before cooking.

Add some oil on a saute pan, and sear the pork on each side for 3 to 4 minutes. Then put the chops in and oven at 350 degrees F. until cooked.

Deglaze the saute pan which was used to sear the chop with 1/4 cup chicken broth. Add a little olive oil or butter and pour this sauce on the cooked pork chops.

Serve with some mangoes and strawberry.
