Pork Chops by III

When we stayed with Amanda and Frank there was one thing we looked forward to each Sunday night – grilling by III on the Big Green Egg… one of our favorite dinners was III’s pork chops.  We finally got up enough courage to try to recreate.  The recipe is simple and has only 3 ingredients: red wine vinegar, salt (little) and pepper (lots and lots) and more red wine vinegar and pepper…the flavor is amazing.  We didn’t put anything on the chops until we put them on a hot / medium grill and then we applied the seasonings liberally throughout cooking to create a flavorful red wine and pepper crust on the chops – awesome!  We used bone in loin chops and the flavor was tangy with a good bite from the pepper.

We complimented the chops with roasted veggies – cherry tomatoes, onions, squash, and mushrooms – topped with olive oil, salt and pepper, oregano and garlic salt – roast them at 350 for 25 minutes (about as long as it takes to heat the grill, and cook the pork chops).  We finished off our plates with our favorite rice – Mahatma saffron rice!  Enjoy!  - Matt & Rach
