In the warmer months, I tend to use my outdoor
grill like an oven, cooking among the mosquitoes so that my kitchen stays cool. When I get tired of chicken and beef, I like to cook pork -- although it needs to be carefully watched to avoid overcooking. This marinade has sweetness from the honey and barbecue sauce and a bit of tang from the lime and ginger. -- Jeanne Besser
Hands on time: Total time: 30 minutes Serves: 4
Ingredients:
-
1/2 cup barbecue sauce
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
4 boneless pork loin chops
Instructions:
Preheat the grill. In a small bowl, whisk barbecue sauce, lime juice, honey and ginger. Reserve half of the sauce. Coat pork chops with remaining sauce and let sit 15 minutes. Grill chops 4 to 6 minutes a side, or until the internal temperature reads 150 to 155 degrees, basting with reserved sauce during cooking.
Notes:
Because pork chops vary in thickness, it is difficult to give exact cooking times, but usually this much is true: For the meat to be juicy and still have a touch of pink, cook it just less than you think you should.
To make the meal: mashed sweet potatoes and asparagus
