Pork Chops with Banana and Bacon

Servings: 4

Ingredients:

4 pork chops, about 1" thick

3/4 tbsp. Cumin

Salt and pepper, to taste

Juice of 1 lemon

2 tbsp. Softened butter

2 large bananas

6 strips bacon

Beer, optional

Cooking Instructions:

Combine the butter, salt, pepper and cumin. Rub mixture into both sides of the meat. Sauté the bacon briefly, until some of the fat has rendered. Remove and drain. Peel bananas and cut into 1 1/4" chunks. Place bananas on a dish and sprinkle with lemon juice. Cut the bacon strips into lengths just long enough to wrap around each banana slice. Place on bananas on skewers, threading through where the bacon slice overlaps. Place the pork chops on a hot grill, for 15 minutes, turning once. Turn grill down to medium, adding the bacon and bananas; grill another 10 minutes, turning both the meat and the bananas. For extra flavor, baste with beer, while the meat cooks.
