Drizzle with Oil: Once your blend is ready, add a splash of oil. This will help create a luscious paste that will coat your pork cutlet or chop perfectly. 🫒🍖

Rub, Rub, Rub: Now, take this fragrant rub and generously massage it into your pork. Make sure every nook and cranny is covered with this flavorful goodness. For the best results, let your pork marinate in the fridge for as long as possible. This allows the flavors to meld and infuse into the meat. 🥩🌶️
