Creole Pork Chops
Patatas Castellanas

Cooking time:  40 minutes for menu          Cooking schedule: see below for instructions

       This almost has the flavor of a barbecue.... Something to tempt us in to unpacking the barbecue grill. The potatoes, while flavorful, are not as hot as summer's Patatas Bravas.

Pork Chops Creole
