I’M IN LOVE WITH ALL THINGS GRILLED AND THIS CHORIZO SPICE RUBBED GRILLED PORK CHOP RECIPE IS ONE OF MY FAVORITES
Pork chops cook so quickly, with just a little prep, grilling your dinner can get a meal on the table in no time. Some hot coals and marinated meats are a great way to start, a few vegetables ( potatoes, corn and zucchini are my favorites) tossed on the grill complete the meal.
TRY THIS DELICIOUS GARLIC BUTTER SHRIMP DEVILED EGGS RECIPE
I have been a huge fan of chorizo ( the dried spicy Spanish sausage) since I first tried it some years ago. The spices in chorizo are so savory and delicious-paprika, oregano, cumin, fresh garlic, salt- I’ve long wanted to rub them all over everything (well, ALMOST everything) so I started with this pork chop recipe. Smash the garlic cloves and mix them and the dried spices into a little mayonnaise to form a paste and rub this onto both sides of each pork chop. If you can do this the day before that would be great, the salt in the spice mix acts as a brine that will keep the pork chops moist during cooking.
Be sure to use an instant read thermometer, cooking pork chops to 145 degrees is another secret to cooking succulent, juicy pork chops.
