Ingredients:


2 medium chipotle chiles -- dried

6 chops pork loin or rib chops -- *

1/2 cup frozen orange juice -- thawed

1/4 cup vegetable oil

1/4 cup lemon juice

2 tablespoons orange peel -- grated

1 teaspoon salt

1 clove garlic

1 medium orange
 

Preparation / Directions:


* Pork chops should be cut about 1/2-inch thick. ** Orange should be cut into 6 wedges. Cover chiles with water. Let stand until softened, about 1 hour. Drain and finely chop. Place pork chops in a shallow glass or plastic dish. Place chiles and remaining ingredients, except the orange, in a blender container. Cover and blend, at low speed, until smooth. Pour over chops. Cover and refrigerate at least 3 hours, spooning marinade over chops occasionally. Set oven control to broil. Remove chops from marinade and sit marinade aside. Place chops on rack in a broiler pan. Broil, with tops of the chops 3 to 5 inches from the heat, until light brown, about 10 minutes. Turn the chops and brush with the marinade. Broil until chops are done, about 5 minutes longer. Garnish with orange wedges and serve.
