Cumin Spiced Pork Chop w/ Sauteed Mushrooms and Baked Potato

Dinner Tonight: Cumin Spiced Pork Chop w/ Sauteed Mushrooms and Baked Potato




It's been one of those lazy Sunday afternoon's around here today! Nothing, and I mean nothing going on today. Did a bit of cleaning then it was Sofa City with the remote in hand. We have a couple of Crabapple Trees in the front yard and they are full of Robins. Every year we seem to be a layover for their treks back North, they're a bit early this year. Could it be a sign of an early Spring? For dinner tonight I prepared a Cumin Spiced Pork Chop w/ Sauteed Mushrooms and Baked Potato.
 

Picked my Chops up while at Meijer the other day, on sale! To prepare my Chops I’ll need; 1 tbsp Roasted Cumin, 1 tsp Garlic Powder, 1 tsp Chili Powder, 1 teaspoon Sea Salt, 1/2 teaspoon Hungarian Paprika, 2 teaspoons Dried Oregano, and 1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper. To prepare it preheat oven to 400°. Combine all the ingredients; rub it all over the pork chop. Let stand 20 minutes. Heat the oil in a Cast Iron Skillet over medium-high heat. Add pork to pan; cook 3 minutes, browning both sides. From the stove to the oven and bake at 400° for 11 minutes or until a thermometer registers 155° (slightly pink), turning after 5 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes before slicing. Then get ready to enjoy one delicious Pork Chop! Fantastic combo of Spices, which made one incredible Crust on the Chop with the inside being tender and moist! By far my favorite Pork recipe anymore!

For one side I prepared some Sauteed Mushrooms. Using Baby Bella Mushrooms, I quartered the Mushrooms. I seasoned them with Dried Thyme, Ground Smoked Cumin, Dried Parsley, and Sea Salt. Pan fried them in Extra Virgin Olive Oil and a pat of Blue Bonnet Light Butter. Then I also had a Baked Potato, seasoned this with McCormick Grinder Sea Salt and Black Peppercorn. For dessert later tonight a Healthy Choice Dark Fudge Swirl Frozen Yogurt
