The other day I found myself standing in front of the butcher counter at my local grocery store, completely lost. As someone who only recently started eating red (and by recently I mean about 4 years!) I was in a total quandary. I didn’t want to spend $27/lb for steak but I also didn’t want to end up with a mouthful of tough chewy meat. Then my meat angel came and swooped in – he was very clearly a seasoned butcher who took one look and me and decided exactly what I would be having for dinner. Pork chops. On the bone. At $7/lb I couldn’t go wrong and when Ethan got a look at them even he had to admire what I had picked up. Now I know now all pork chops are equal and I believe these were particularly good quality for the price but they were really tasty and without the cost.
We decided to do something new, a dry rub. Generally our marinades include olive oil, balsamic or soy sauce. I happened across a recipe from Simplyrecipes.com (which is just about one of the best places to find any type of recipe you are looking for!) for a dry rub marinade and decided to give a try. The flavors were insane - without being overwhelming it really gave a boost to the meat. The chops went straight to the grill and then served immediately.
Ingredients:
Serves 2-4
2 pork chops, bone in
Dry Rub Marinade
1/4 cup cumin seeds
3 Tbsp black pepper
1 Tbsp coriander
2 Tbsp sugar
1 1/2 tsp salt
Method:
Mix together the dry rub and cover the pork chop on both sides. Grill for about 5 minutes on each side, or until done depending on the strength of your grill. Serve hot!
