Recipe: Grilled Pork Chops

Grilled Pork Chops

1/2 cup orange juice
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 crushed garlic cloves
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
1 Granny Smith Apple, cored and cut into 8th
4 pork chops, boneless or bone-in, about 1 - 1/4 inch thick

In a large glass or ceramic bowl, pour in the orange juice. Then add the olive oil, garlic, cumin, black pepper, and apple. Mix all the ingredients together. Now, add the pork chops. Turn over once to make sure both sides are covered. Cover bowl and place in refrigerator between 4 to 24 hours. Turn server times to make sure the marinade evenly coats the chops. Next, remove chops from marinade and discard the marinade. Preheat grill to medium. You want to grill for a total of 12-15 minutes, turning between 6 to 7 minutes to brown evenly. Serve the pork chops at once.

Picnicking & Tailgating: Begin the marinade process the night before. Just before leaving the house, remove pork chops from bowl and place chops in a large self-sealing plastic bag. Put the chops in the ice chest. When you are at either the picnic or the tailgate site, prepare your grill. Then pop on the pork chops and grill. Makes 4 servings.
