Grilled Pork Chops With Onion Marmalade And Cauliflower Puree Recipe

Ingredients

How to make it

  • For Pork Chops:
  • Make one or two slits into the fat that hugs that hugs the round part of your chops. Season each side with salt and pepper.
  • In a large bowl or zip-lock bag, add all your marinade ingredients and mix well. Reserve 3 tablespoons of marinade. Add your pork chops to the marinade in bag and ensure the chops are covered well by the marinade. Seal/cover and refrigerate for 3 hours. Bring back to room temperature before grilling.
  • Take pork chops out of marinade, pat fry with paper towels. Drizzle a little olive oil on the chops to coat and re-season with salt and pepper (keep the rosemary to throw into your hot coals for a great aroma and flavor).
  • Get your charcoal grill heated up to medium-high heat (no more than 400F).
  • Grill your chops for about 6 minutes per side (depending on thickness) over medium-high heat.
  • When your chops are done. Let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.

    Luisa, You really rock!! Your description of the plating of this over-the-top dish is exquisite without being snooty!! I'd like 2 plates, my husband would love it too.(I may even try it, although there is no "Niman Ranch" product where I reside!!)
