Instructions
- Grate the onion and mix it with the lemon juice, cumin, salt, pepper, crushed garlic and oil.
- Brush the chops with this marinade, cover and leave to rest for at least 2 hours in the fridge.
- Take the chops out 20 minutes before cooking so they come to room temperature.
- Heat a grill pan or barbecue over high heat.
- Grill the chops for 3 to 4 minutes per side, until golden outside but still pink in the middle.
- Let them rest for 3 minutes before serving so the juices settle.
- Serve hot, with a tomato salad and bread.
Variations and tips
Oven version. Bake at 220 °C for 10 minutes, turning the chops halfway through.
