These chops work perfectly on a BBQ or in a heavy based griddle if the weather is not too kind.
Method
Arrange the cutlets in a dish and brush liberally with Ancho in
Adobo paste all over cover then chill for a couple of hours in the
fridge.
Remove the cutlets from the fridge and lightly season with a
pinch of smoked salt.
Preheat a griddle pan large enough to hold the meat until it
sizzles when you add a drop of oil or prepare the BBQ for direct
heat grilling.
Place the cutlets fat side down to render before searing on the
flat sides over high heat, turning the cutlets a couple of times
once a rich, dark crust has formed (reduce the heat if the meat is
getting too charred).
Cook for 2 to 3 minutes each side for a medium finish, pressing
the meat with your thumb it should be slightly firm to touch with a
core temperature of 58°C before resting.
Leave to rest in a warm place for half the cooking time before
serving.
Scatter with freshly cut coriander, mint leaves and a generous
dollop of chipotle mayo.
TO SERVE:
Serve with the Chipotle mayo, charred vegetables and a squeeze
of fresh lime.
