The jerkstore called...
You know we are low on groceries when the pork chops come out. Like I said in a previous post I really am not all that crazy about pork chops. Clearly, we are in need of a trip to the grocery store :) I decided to just do a rub and grill the pork chops. To make matters even easier, I didn't even use my own rub!
This is not really much of a recipe, but I thought I would post it anyway in case people needed ideas for a quick and easy (but still flavorful) meal.
I used a jerk rub for the chops. Obviously you could make your own jerk rub but I had some leftover from a trip to St. Martin, so I decided to use it. I just patted the pork chops with a paper towel, and then rubbed the seasoning into both sides. Put them on an oil-sprayed grill, cooked till internal temp was about 140.
I also decided to make some potato/veggie skewers. These didn't turn out too visually appealing since they didn't have much color. I thought I had some grape tomatoes, but it turns out they didn't look so hot. For these, I blitzed a clove of garlic with some fresh lemon juice (about a tablespoon; lime or orange juice would work!), oil, honey (about 2 Tbsp), oregano, thyme, salt and pepper. In the meantime, I halved some baby yukon potatoes and boiled them until *just* fork tender. Tossed those with some green peppers, mushrooms and pinapple chunks into the honey mixture. Threaded them on skewers, and tossed those on the grill, too, brushing with the marinade a couple times.
