Provided by Sunny Anderson

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/4 cup honey
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Eight 1/2-inch bone-in pork chops (about 3 ounces each)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Begin by making the marinade. In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, oil, vinegar, cumin and red pepper flakes. Easy, right?
  • Sprinkle both sides of the pork chops with salt and pepper and place in a re-sealable plastic bag with the marinade. Let rest on the counter for 1 hour. That's easy.
  • Heat a grill or grill pan over medium heat. Remove the pork chops from the bag and lightly sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place on the grill and cook until the pork chop releases from the grill, about 4 minutes. Flip and cook on the other side for another 3 minutes. If using a grill pan, be sure to do in batches so you don't steam the chops. And don't worry if you have neither; you can do this in a pan. See, easy!

JALAPEñO GRILLED PORK CHOPS



Jalapeño Grilled Pork Chops image

Juicy jalapeños offer discernible heat, but they have a higher purpose beyond that: They provide welcome freshness with their distinct vegetal flavor. When blitzed with aromatic cilantro stems and plenty of garlic, jalapeños transform into a punchy marinade that flavors and tenderizes pork chops gloriously, and tinges them a bright Reptar-Bar green, too. That brilliant color, evidence of the chlorophyll in the peppers and herbs, stays vibrant even after a fiery kiss on the grill.

Provided by Eric Kim

Categories     dinner, steaks and chops, main course

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

5 large jalapeños, stemmed
5 large garlic cloves, peeled
1 bunch cilantro stems, cut into 1-inch pieces (about 1 packed cup)
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1/2 cup olive oil, plus more for cooking
1 tablespoon kosher salt (Diamond Crystal)
2 teaspoons granulated sugar
8 thin-cut, bone-in pork loin chops (1/2-inch thick)
1 large jalapeño, thinly sliced into rings
1 small red onion, thinly sliced into rings
1/3 cup rice vinegar
1 teaspoon kosher salt (Diamond Crystal)
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
Cilantro leaves and tender stems, for garnish
Cilantro rice or cooked white rice, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Make the pork chops: In a food processor, blitz the jalapeños, garlic, cilantro stems, rice vinegar, olive oil, salt and sugar until smooth. Place the pork chops in a large bowl or resealable container and pour the marinade over them; turn the chops to evenly coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes and up to 24 hours.
  • While the chops marinate, prepare a charcoal grill for direct high-heat cooking, or heat a gas grill to medium-high.
  • Make the relish: In a small bowl, toss the jalapeño, red onion, rice vinegar, salt, sugar and 2 tablespoons water. Set aside to quick-pickle until ready to serve, or refrigerate for up to 24 hours.
  • Carefully grease the grill grate: Use tongs to grip a wadded paper towel dipped in oil and then rub the grates with the oiled towel. With the marinade clinging to them, place the pork chops on the hot greased grate. Grill until the chops are charred at the edges and no longer pink in the middle, 2 to 3 minutes per side. The meat is ready to flip when it releases easily from the grates. (If using a gas grill, close the lid between flips.) Alternatively, cook the chops on the stovetop in batches. Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high. Add enough oil to lightly coat the bottom of the pan, and heat until shimmering. Add the chops, with the marinade clinging to them, to the pan. Sear until browned and caramelized at the edges and no longer pink in the middle, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Discard any remaining marinade.
  • Serve the chops with the relish and cilantro on top. If you'd like, serve rice alongside.

Tips:

  • Choose the right pork chops: Look for pork chops that are at least 1 inch thick and have a good amount of marbling. This will help ensure that they stay juicy and flavorful during grilling.
  • Make sure the pork chops are at room temperature before grilling: This will help them cook evenly.
  • Season the pork chops generously with your favorite spices: This will help develop a delicious crust on the outside of the chops.
  • Preheat your grill to medium-high heat before grilling the pork chops: This will help prevent them from sticking to the grill and will also help create a nice sear.
  • Grill the pork chops for 6-8 minutes per side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit: Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the pork chops are cooked to perfection.
  • Let the pork chops rest for a few minutes before serving: This will help the juices redistribute throughout the chops, making them even more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Grilled Calypso Pork Chops are a delicious and easy-to-make recipe that is perfect for a summer cookout. The pork chops are marinated in a flavorful смесь специй, then grilled to perfection. The result is a juicy and flavorful pork chop that is sure to please everyone at your table. Try this recipe today and enjoy a taste of the Caribbean in your own backyard!
