This colorful and flavorful dish gets its inspiration from the Southwest, using native squash, smoked jalapeno (chipotle) and favorite spices from this region. Serve with cornbread and green beans in a vinaigrette dressing.
Ingredients
- 4 New York pork chops (top loin, 1 inch thick)
- 1 cup pumpkin (canned)
- 1 chipotles in adobo
- 8 ounces salsa
- 1/4 cup parmesan cheese (grated)
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 2 plum tomatoes (diced)

Directions
