Cooking
with Wine
4 pork chops, 1 inch thick
3/4 tablespoon cumin
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 lemon, juiced
2 tablespoons butter, softened
2 lg. bananas
6 strips bacon
Beer (optional)

Combine the butter, salt, pepper and cumin. Rub into both sides of the chops. Saute the bacon briefly, until some of the fat has rendered. Remove and drain. Peel bananas and cut into 1-inch slices. Place on a dish and sprinkle with lemon juice. Slice the bacon in strips long enough to wrap around each banana slice. Place on skewers, threading through the bacon. 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 bananas. Also good basted with beer, while the meat cooks.
