**Pork chops**, a succulent and flavorful cut of meat, take center stage in this culinary journey. Marinated in a symphony of zesty tamarind, tangy soy sauce, and aromatic spices, these chops are imbued with an irresistible blend of sweet, sour, and savory flavors. Grilled to perfection, they boast a beautiful char and a tender, juicy interior that will tantalize your taste buds. Accompanying the pork chops is a medley of equally enticing recipes that elevate the dining experience to new heights.
**Crispy Onion Rings:** Golden-brown and irresistibly crunchy, these onion rings add a contrasting texture to the tender pork chops. Coated in a seasoned breadcrumb mixture and fried until crisp, they deliver a satisfying crunch with every bite.
**Creamy Coleslaw:** A refreshing and tangy coleslaw provides a cooling counterpoint to the savory pork chops. Shredded cabbage, carrots, and red onions are tossed in a creamy mayonnaise-based dressing, resulting in a crisp and flavorful side dish.
**Grilled Corn on the Cob:** Sweet, smoky, and bursting with natural goodness, grilled corn on the cob is a classic summer staple. Perfectly charred and seasoned with a touch of butter, salt, and pepper, it offers a delightful balance of flavors and textures.
**Roasted Sweet Potatoes:** These tender and caramelized sweet potatoes add a touch of sweetness and warmth to the meal. Tossed in a blend of olive oil, herbs, and spices, they roast until golden brown, showcasing their naturally sweet flavor.
**Peanut Sauce:** A rich and nutty peanut sauce serves as a flavorful dipping sauce for the pork chops. Made with a combination of creamy peanut butter, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and a touch of sesame oil, it adds an extra layer of savory and sweet complexity to each bite.
These delectable recipes come together to create a harmonious and unforgettable barbecue feast. From the succulent pork chops to the crispy onion rings, creamy coleslaw, grilled corn, roasted sweet potatoes, and the irresistible peanut sauce, every dish is a culinary delight that will leave you and your guests craving for more.
PORK CHOPS WITH TAMARIND AND GINGER
Seasoning pork chops with a paste of fresh ginger, chile, cumin and tamarind gives the brawny meat a deeply spicy, sour flavor that gets more intense the longer it marinates. Then the excess marinade is mixed into the drippings to make a heady sauce. If you can't find tamarind concentrate (also sometimes called tamarind extract), lime juice will supply the sour notes, though without the same fruity complexity.

Steps:
- In a large bowl, combine garlic, tamarind, sambal oelek, ginger, salt, cumin, fish sauce and turmeric. Rub mixture evenly over pork, and let marinate for at least 1 hour and up to overnight.
- Heat oven to 400 degrees. Heat oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Scrape the marinade off the pork, reserving it (there will be a tablespoon or two), then place chops in pan and sear on one side until well browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Use tongs to hold pork chops vertically to sear the fat on the edges, another 2 to 3 minutes.
- Flip pork so browned side is on top and add reserved marinade to pan, stirring it into the drippings. Transfer pan to oven and cook to desired doneness, about 8 minutes for lightly pink on the inside (135 degrees). Transfer chops to a plate or cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes. Slice the meat off the bone and serve slices coated with pan drippings, scallions and lime wedges.

Steps:
- 1. Preparation To make the glaze: Place the vegetable oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion, garlic, and thyme and cook until the onion and garlic begin to brown, 7 to 10 minutes. Deglaze the pan with the rum and simmer for 4 to 5 minutes to evaporate the alcohol. Stir in the honey and tamarind pulp and cook over medium heat for 5 minutes. Add the beef stock and continue cooking until the liquid is reduced by half. Strain through a sieve. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
- 2. To brine the pork chops: In a large stockpot, bring to a boil the water, sugar, salt, cloves, and nutmegs. Stir occasionally and cook until the sugar and salt have dissolved. Remove the brine from the heat and add the pork chops. Let cool for 30 minutes, then cover and refrigerate for 24 hours.
- 3. Prepare a hot grill for direct cooking, with a cool zone to one side. Remove the pork chops from the brine, rinse with cold water, and pat dry. Season to your liking with salt, cracked black pepper, granulated garlic, and dried thyme. Use long-handled tongs and a paper towel dipped in vegetable oil to lightly oil the grate, then place the pork chops over the fire, about 6 inches over the glowing coals.
- 4. Cook for about 2 minutes on each side. Move the chops to the cool zone, cover the grill, and cook for 5 minutes. Turn, cover the grill, and grill until just cooked through, about 5 minutes more. The meat should register 145°F on a meat thermometer. Transfer to a serving platter and allow the chops to rest for 10 minutes. While the meat is resting, warm the glaze. Serve the pork chops whole or sliced with the glaze. Note: You can also make these in the oven. First, sear the chops in very hot oil in a shallow pan for about 5 minutes on each side. Place in a preheated 350°F oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until they register 145ºF on a meat thermometer. Let them rest for 10 minutes before serving. add your own note
TAMARIND-GLAZED PORK CHOPS
A Splendid Table recipe for the grill or a skillet, from "How to Eat Supper". The chops cook quite quickly,so don't overcook them, and the leftover glaze would also be good on other proteins, like poultry or swordfishfish.I use dry white vermouth for the white wine. I recommend NOT using a cast iron pan for this!

Steps:
- If you are grilling, prepare the grill.
- In a food processor, puree the glaze ingredients. Thin the resulting paste with water as needed to get the consistency of thick masple syrup. Set the glaze aside.
- Grill the chops over a medium fire until nicely browned, or film a large saute pan with olive oil and sear the chops over medium-high heat for 3 to 5 minutes.
- In the last few minutes of cooking, baste the chops with the glaze, turning them once to coat both sides. You want it to bubble and caramelize. Serve the chops with the extra glaze alongside.

Steps:
- Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat, and lightly oil the grate.
- Place the brown sugar, ketchup, mayonnaise, yellow mustard, Worcestershire sauce, chili powder, and cayenne pepper into a bowl, and stir until blended.
- Place the pork chops on the preheated grill, and cook the chops until the surface is seared but the meat is just barely pink in the middle, about 5 minutes. Brush the chops with the glaze mixture, and flip to cook the glaze onto the meat. When the glazed side shows good grill marks, flip again, brush glaze onto the pork chops, flip, and grill until the other side shows nice brown grill marks. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of a chop should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).

Tips:
- Choose the right pork chops: Bone-in pork chops are more flavorful than boneless pork chops. Look for pork chops that are about 1 inch thick.
- Marinate the pork chops: Marinating the pork chops in a flavorful marinade will help to tenderize them and infuse them with flavor. You can use a variety of marinades, such as a simple olive oil and garlic marinade, or a more complex marinade made with soy sauce, ginger, and honey.
- Cook the pork chops over indirect heat: This will help to prevent the pork chops from drying out. You can cook the pork chops on a grill, in a smoker, or in the oven.
- Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the pork chops: The pork chops are done cooking when they reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Let the pork chops rest before serving: This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the pork chops, making them more tender and flavorful.
Conclusion:
Tamarind-glazed pork chops are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a summer cookout or a weeknight meal. The tamarind glaze is sweet, tangy, and slightly spicy, and it pairs perfectly with the tender and juicy pork chops. Serve the pork chops with your favorite sides, such as rice, mashed potatoes, or grilled vegetables.
