Jamaican Pork Chops

We're winding down on the summer recipe shares, so this week almost felt like I was obligated to bring you one more grilling hurrah before we move on to cooler weather eats. With the Labor Day holiday already upon us, we're all probably thinking about what we want to toss on the grill. Our stores usually push sales on ground beef and hot dogs the week before, but I noticed this week they also put pork chops on sale and I thought that would be a nice shift for holiday grilling over the standard burgers and dogs. Pork isn't something I consume, so I admit that I'm not very creative when it comes to cooking it. I usually just throw a little salt and pepper on pork chops then toss them over the flame until they're cooked through. My husband has never complained, but even I admit that sounds pretty boring. So once I purchased a package of chops, off I went to Golden Blossom Honey to see if they had any ideas on how to punch up pork. And, of course they did. I found this recipe for Jamaican Pork Chops that had some interesting herbs and spices and couldn't wait to put them to the test. 

 

 

The nice thing about this recipe was while it looked like a lot of different spices were needed to get this dish to come together, every one was a pantry staple so I didn't have to run out and buy anything extra since I already had everything needed in the cupboard. The hardest part was getting the onions into a fine dice, and that's hardly any effort at all when you remove the stinging tears rolling down the face that tends to come with that task. Then add a pinch of this and a dash of that and you're ready to get the party started. Toss them on the grill and dinner is served in under 20 minutes. I know I've mentioned how I am ready to move on to those autumn comfort foods, but I will miss the ease and efficiency of grill cooking recipes like this. But, if you're looking to end the grilling season on a high note and move past those standard hamburgers and hot dogs you've been flaming all summer long, give these Jamaican Pork Chops a try. It might just inspire you to find creative ways to use pork going into the cooler months as well.
