Today is Secret Recipe Club reveal day. Secret Recipe Club is a gathering of food bloggers assigned a blog, select and prepare a recipe, and on the
designated day, share whose blog we were secretly assigned and post
about the recipe. It’s a great way to meet other bloggers and find new
recipes.
The bourbon pork chops immediately caught my eye, even thought I mostly have given up beef and pork since my last birthday. It is one of those recipes that stuck with me, and I kept coming back to it. Of course, Craig was delighted and up for the challenge of getting "TV-worthy grill marks," as Chris had barbequed them. Oh goodness, did Craig get it perfect. Not only do these look fabulous, they were melt-in-your-mouth tender, juicy, really - the perfect pork chop. Bon Appetit!
(I forgot to buy the suggested cipollini onions, which look to make a lovely side for these chops, and I used Penzey's smoked paprika.)
Bourbon Smoked Paprika Pork Chops
2 boneless pork sirloin chops
kosher salt to taste
freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1/4 cup (or so) bourbon
(One of our favorite bourbons) |
So glad you enjoyed them! And kudos to Craig for those grill marks, indeed!
