Ingredients

2 each chipotle chili dried
6 each pork loin chops 1/2 inch thick
1/2 cup orange juice frozen, thawed
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup lemon juice
2 tablespoons orange zest grated
1 teaspoon salt
1 clove garlic
1 medium orange cut into 6 wedges

Directions

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.
