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.

What will you be serving this Labor Day?
The corn looks very inviting, I don't remember when was the last time I had it whole like that instead of frozen from the freezer.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure that this recipe is delicious. But being a vegetarian for the past 48 years it is not a recipe I can comment on. I hope you enjoyed it.
ReplyDeleteMy son and his family are coming to stay for a week, so we will have a full house! We are having halibut on Sunday when they arrive and doing ribs/wings on Monday when my oldest daughter and her family will also be here. I hope you have a fun weekend, Theresa!
ReplyDeleteI would leave the cayenne off mine since I don't like many spicy foods but otherwise it sound good.
ReplyDeleteSounds like it is pretty straightforward. Pork is one i don't eat either. Just never liked it.
ReplyDeleteSame here for the salt and pepper only, and not eating pork so I don't get fancy with it. We have fam coming to visit this weekend though because the boy is turning 18 and they love pork chops. Can you believe how fast 18 got here??!?!! This child, is officially not going to be a child very soon. Cherishing senior year.
ReplyDeleteGracias por la receta. te mando un beso.
ReplyDeleteHello!
ReplyDeleteYes, indeed, barbecue season is coming to an end, but you've still managed to find another interesting recipe for those who like pork chops — I don't eat pork either — but I admit that with all those spices, they must be delicious! Hugs
We don't eat pork.. but the marinade looks good and i'm sure can be used on a different protein.
ReplyDeleteLlegué a https://calculadoradedias.com/ cuando necesitaba planificar las fechas de entrega de varios trabajos y me pareció excelente porque me permitió calcular los días exactos entre cada fecha y organizarme mucho mejor.
ReplyDeleteMe topé con https://calculadoradedias.com/ cuando planeaba un viaje largo y necesitaba saber la duración total en días, y realmente me ayudó a cuadrar mejor las reservas de hotel y transporte sin equivocaciones.
ReplyDeleteI like that you keep it realisticnusing pantry staples makes it approachable, and the spice mix seems like it would really wake up plain pork chops.
ReplyDeleteIt looks and sounds delicious! Here's where I admit I leave most the cooking to my husband. (Everyone has their creative preferences, eh?)
ReplyDeleteInteresting spices in this recipe. I have never had Jamaican food. Sounds like honey can be used in so many different types of recipes.
ReplyDeleteWhat a thoughtful thing to do, making a special recipe for your husband. I love how you were so creative with it. It's so true that you can't go wrong with a recipe that uses spices you already have. And I totally felt the part about the stinging tears from chopping onions, haha. This sounds like the perfect way to end the grilling season. Since you're ready for them, what are some of your favorite autumn comfort foods?
