Carribean-style Pork Rib Chops (Costillitas de Cerdo) Preparation

Place the pork chops in a glass baking dish or other non-metal dish. In a food processor or blender, combine cloves, bay leaf, oregano, salt, wine and juice; process until well blended. Pour over chops, turning to coat all sides. Cover and allow to marinate for up to one hour, turning once or twice.

In large skillet heat 1 tablespoon of lard or oil. Blot the pork chops with paper towels and saut until brown on both sides, about 4 minutes on each side.
