Get Your Mojo On
The other night before my computer fried out, I made a recipe I created awhile back...Pork Chops with Rum Mojo Couscous.  This second time out...still very tasty!
 This time I added red peppers to the green.

 Also, this time around, I brined the pork chops in a salt/brown sugar solution.  Really good!!!  For about two cups of water, I used 1 TB of salt and 1 TB of brown sugar.  The chops hung out in the salty/sweet pool over night.

 Saute onions and peppers until just about tender.  Add rum and simmer for a minute to finish cooking the peppers and to reduce down.
