Start by listing the ingredients on the screen with amounts and in the description box.

Roast 4 Roma tomatoes and 1 chile serrano on aluminum foil in a medium-high heated pan, rotating until roasted.

Remove roasted tomatoes and place them in a blender, saving the serrano pepper for later.

Add a small bunch of cilantro and 1 cup of chicken broth to the blender and blend until smooth.

Set up a cast iron brazer and heat it on medium-high.

Season 4 pork chops with salt and pepper on both sides.

Add 3 tablespoons of canola oil to the brazer and heat it up.

Place the pork chops in the brazer and sear for 3 minutes on one side.

Flip the pork chops and cook for another 3 to 3.5 minutes until golden brown.

Remove the pork chops and cover them with aluminum foil on a plate to rest.

Add sliced onion, green bell pepper, celery, and green onions to the brazer with the leftover bits from the pork chops.

Reduce heat to medium-low and sauté the vegetables for about 8 minutes, tossing occasionally until they are limp.

Grind cumin and peppercorns with a little salt in a mortar and pestle, then add chopped garlic cloves and a bit of water to combine.

After 8 minutes, sprinkle a little all-purpose flour over the sautéed vegetables and toss to coat.

Add the ground spices and mix well with the vegetables for about 1 minute.

Pour the blended salsa into the brazer along with a little chicken broth, oregano, and the serrano pepper with a slit in it.

Add the pork chops back into the brazer along with any juices from the plate.

Bring to a light boil, add salt to taste, and cover with a lid.

Simmer for 20 to 25 minutes, checking for doneness near the bone after 20 minutes.

After about 28 minutes, remove the pork chops from heat and ensure there is no pink near the bone.
