Pork Chops with Black Plum & Grain Mustard Marinade
One of the most unique Grilled pork chop recipes
Serves: 4
Ingredients
4 Pork Chops, 1" thick
Ingredients for the Marinade:
1/2 cup Plum Jam
2 tbsp Grain Mustard
3 tbsp Red Wine Vinegar
2 tbsp Maple Syrup
1/4 cup Olive Oil
Pinch of Each: Minced Ginger, Chopped Rosemary, Minced Garlic, Tabasco, Salt & Pepper
Indoor Preparation
Marinate the chops for 2-3 hours prior to grilling, in the plum/mustard mixture. It's a good idea to keep a bit of your marinade separate for basting your meat later on the grill; but remember, if the marinade has already touched the raw meat, you cannot reuse it later on!
Outdoor Preparation
Grill on medium-high until the pork juices run clear and there is no pink color left in the meat, approximately 10-12 minutes. (It is essential to cook pork completely!)
In the last couple of minutes in the cooking process, rebaste the pork with the bit of marinade you put aside at the beginning, or make a little bit more of the mixture separately to use right away.
Take off the grill when cooked through and place on clean platter; never put cooked meat back onto the same platter that was used to marinade or store raw meat.
