Method

In small bowl, stir together chili powder, pepper, salt, and sesame oil. Rub over pork chops to coat. Place pork chops in a slow cooker (2 to 4 quart size recommended), sprinkling garlic on top of and between chops. Cut oranges with skin on into 1/4 inch slices. Remove any seeds. Place orange slices on top of pork to completely cover. Cook on low-heat setting for 6 to 8 hours. Remove orange slices. Set aside 3 or 4 orange slices for garnish and discard the rest. Sprinkle pork with lime juice. Remove to serving platter and garnish with reserved orange slices.

 

Notes: This recipe takes advantage of the slow cooker's ability to fill the air around a food with flavors to infuse the spiced pork chops with a wonderful orange essence.
