GOYA-Grilled Mojo Pork Chops

On a “Mami moment” with chef son Aarón, whose website credits her passion for food and cooking as his inspiration:
Aarón says I’m his biggest supporter and his harshest critique. I agree. When he does something good I praise him. He had this talent that was innate. He never cooked with me. For his debut meal [cooked for the family] he had pork chops with fresh plum sauce. He said, “I’m going to be all right because I’m exactly like you.” I said, “You have my charisma, but you don’t have my discipline.” He said, “Give me some time, I’m young.”
