I call this recipe Oven-Baked Pork Chops Fay style! It may not be a traditional Jamaican recipe, but most everything I cook has Jamaican flavour. In this case, the meat is marinated in true Jamaican fashion, overnight with seasonings – onion, garlic, salt and black pepper. Do you have to marinate the meat for hours? Of course not, but don’t expect it to taste as good to the bone as when you do. This recipe was highly requested by my nephew Carey who has been waiting patiently for it to be added to this website. Carey, this one’s for you! I hope everyone enjoys my oven-baked chops as much as you do.
