Deviled Pork Chops, Grilled
Total time: 30 minutes
Pork chops with a kick, marinated and cooked on the barbecue grill. If you want them hotter, more 'devilish' you could add a drop or 2 of Tabasco or other hot sauce.
Ingredients:
- 2 - 4 pork chops, boneless, - depending on size 12oz total weight (360gr)
- Marinade:
- 2 tbs whole grain mustard
- 2 tbs orange juice Substitute 1 tbs orange marmalade or 1 tbs lemon juice with 1 tbs sugar or 2 tbs white wine.
- 2 tbs Worcestershire Sauce
- 1 tbs paprika
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 2 tsp dried tarragon
- 1
tbs olive oil
Instructions:
- Mix all ingredients for marinade and spoon on chops. Let marinate for 10 - 15 minutes.
- Cook on barbecue for 4 - 7 minutes a side or until done. Should be slightly pink in center when done - take a peak (techniques).
- Or fry in nonstick skillet over medium-high heat the same amount of time.
Sautéed Potatoes, Mushrooms and Onions
Total time: 25 minutes
Chopped onion and mushrooms add flavor to simple fried potatoes.
Ingredients:
- 2 medium potatoes
- 3oz (90gr) mushrooms
- 1 small onion
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 tbs olive oil
Instructions:
- Trim and slice mushrooms.
- Chop onion and mince garlic.
- Sauté onion and mushrooms in oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat until starting to brown.
- Add garlic and sauté a minute longer.
- Slice the potatoes - the long way, first in half, then in half again. Now slice (the short way) about 1/4 inch thick. We are aiming for bite size so if you have a huge potato, adjust accordingly.
- Remove onions, mushrooms, garlic from pan and add potatoes - with a drop more oil if needed.
- Sauté potatoes until light brown, stirring and flipping as needed.
- Return onions, mushrooms, garlic to pan. Continue to sauté until everything is nicely browned and potatoes are cooked through.
- Salt & pepper if desired, and serve.
