These Colombian Style Pork Chops are very easy to make and full of flavor. Perfect for a weeknight meal.
Some of my favorite dishes to serve with these pork chops are my simple side salad, rice with angel hair pasta and Colombian style beans.

Believe it or not, whenever I'm going to visit my family in Medellín, before I arrive, I make a list of what I want to eat when I get there, and Colombian-Style Pork Chops are always on that list. This is traditional Colombian comfort food from the Boyacá department of Colombia!
My mom marinates the pork overnight in a mix of spices and herbs and the result is a moist, tender and delicious pork chop.
Buen provecho!

Question: In step 2, is the water already boiling when I put the chops in to cook for 15 minutes?
