6 thick pork shoulder chops, pounded flat
4 lg. ancho chilies, lightly toasted on a dry griddle, slit, stemmed and seeded
1/8 tsp. cumin seeds
1/8 tsp. oregano
1/8 tsp. thyme
1 tbsp. salt
2 garlic cloves
1/2 cup mild white vinegar
strained Seville orange juice
2 tbsp. lard
Sliced onion
Shredded lettuce
Sliced radishes

1
At least one day ahead, put the chilies in a bowl and cover them with hot water.
2
Let them soak for about 20 minutes, then transfer them with a slotted spoon to a blender.
3
Add the cumin, oregano, thyme, salt, garlic and vinegar or orange juice, and blend into a fairly smooth paste.
4
Do not overblend.
5
Spread both sides of the chops with the paste and set in the refrigerator to season overnight.
6
On serving day, melt the lard in a skillet and fry the chops very slowly on both sides until they are well cooked-about 20 minutes, depending on the thickness of the meat.
7
When they have cooked through, increase the heat and brown them quickly.
8
Serve the chops immediately, garnished with the onion slices, and decorate the plate with the lettuce and radishes.
