We had pork chops for dinner last night and wanted to try something different. I found this marinade in a cook book and it was awesome. The kids and hubby were asking for 2nds and 3rds, lol.
Hearty Pork Chops
2/3 cup lemon-lime soda (I used 7-up)
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup honey
1 teaspoon dried thyme
3/4 teaspoon dried rosemary
1/4 teaspoon pepper
6 bone in pork loin chops (I only used 4 large pork chops)
In a large resealable plastic bag combinne the first six ingredients; add pork chops. Seal the bag and turn to coat. Refrigerate fpr 4 hours or overnight (I did 4 hours) and turn the bag occasionally.
Drain and discard marinade. Grill pork covered over medium heat 6 to 8 mins each side or until Juices run clear.
Like I said - It was awesome!
Anyone else have a yummy dinner last night?
I thgink inside would work. It wasnt gooey by any means and didnt tast sweet. I think the soy sauce helps with all that.
that sounds delicious. i didn't have a yummy dinner. i have a tummy bug so i just had some very bland oatmeal with just a touch of brown sugar and milk. :( i think we're going to do something similar tonight because not only do i still have the bug, but fiance does now too.
That sounds like it is great. I will give it a try tommorow. My recipie is easy and great. I take turkey cutlets or chicken breast cut them up and brown them on top of the stove with a small amount of extra virgin olive oil. I next take some black bean and corn salsa.I use the walmart brand. I put about 3/4 of the jar in there and let it simmer with the chicken or turkey for about 15 minutes. It does not need further spices as the salsa has plenty. I serve it with some brown rice. I also put a little bit of shredded mexican blend cheese on top. It is good and takes about 30 minutes to prep.I hope you enjoy this recipie.
ooooh my this sounds good!!! what did you cook with it- rice or noodles?
this sounds like it would go great with rice and sugar snap peas or broccoli!!
YUMMY!!!! THANK YOU!!!
Would that marinade work if I cook inside in the iron skillet, or would it be too sticky? It's snowing here and I cant bbq :(
Sounds yummy tho.
Thanks for posting it.
Thanks for the recipe. We didn't have an awesome dinner last night, it was very blah but last month I was looking for recipes with spinach and I found this one by Giada from Food Network and is call:
Pork Chops Stuffed with Sun-Dried Tomatoes and Spinach
Ingredients
1 tablespoon olive oil, plus 1 tablespoon
2 cloves garlic, minced
6 sun-dried tomatoes, diced
1 (10-ounce) bag of frozen spinach, thawed and excess water squeezed out
1/2 teaspoon salt, plus more for seasoning
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more for seasoning
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 cup (2 ounces) goat cheese
1/3 cup reduced-fat cream cheese
4 (4-ounce) center-cut pork chops
1 1/2 cups chicken broth
1/2 lemon, zested
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
Directions
Warm the 1 tablespoon olive oil in a medium saute pan over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the sun-dried tomatoes, spinach, salt, pepper, and thyme. Cook until combined, about 2 more minutes. Transfer the mixture to a medium bowl. Add the goat cheese and the cream cheese. Stir to combine and set aside.
Use a sharp knife to cut a pocket into the thickest portion of the pork chop. Stuff each pocket with 1/4 of the spinach and sun-dried tomato mixture and close the pork around the stuffing. Season the outside of the pork with salt and pepper.
In a small bowl combine the chicken broth, lemon zest, lemon juice, and mustard.
Warm the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat. When the pan is hot add the pork. Cook until golden and cooked through, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer the pork to a side dish and tent with foil to keep warm. Add the chicken broth mixture to the skillet over medium-high heat. Scrape up the brown bits from the bottom of the pan as the chicken broth simmers. Reduce the broth by half to make a light sauce, about 8 minutes. Spoon some sauce over the pork before serving.
Every body like it at home, hope you too.
Will be printing this for summer! This sounds really good-
