  • 1/4 cup chopped onion
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons adobo seasoning
  • 4 large eggs
  • 3 cloves garlic

  • Pork:
  • 2 (1-pound) boneless center-cut pork loins, butterflied by the butcher
  • Plain breadcrumbs, as needed
  • Corn oil, as needed
  • Hot Sauce:
  • 10 jalapenos, stemmed
  • 1/4 cup water

  • 1 1/2 cups finely chopped scallions

Preparation

Step 1

To make the marinade: Combine all of the ingredients in blender and puree until smooth. Transfer to bowl. (The marinade can be made up to 2 days in advance covered and refrigerated.)

To marinate the pork: Transfer the pork to the marinade and marinate at room temperature for 10 to 15 minutes.

Put bread crumbs in a plastic bag. Add pork and using the palm of your hand, pat bread crumbs onto pork so that it adheres well.

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add enough oil to lightly coat the bottom of the skillet. Working in batches, add the pork and cook, turning once, until lightly browned and cooked through, about 5 mintues per side.

To make the hot sauce: In a blender, pulse jalapenos with water, vinegar, and lemon juice until finely chopped. Pour into a bowl. Add scallions and cilantro. Add about 2 teaspoons salt or more to taste.
