Marinate pork chops in zesty lemon marinade for ultimate tenderness before grilling.
Ingredients:
  • 0.75 cup water
  • 0.33333298563957 cup lemon juice
  • 0.33333298563957 cup chopped onion
  • 1 tablespoon packed brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon chopped green onion
  • 0.75 teaspoon salt
  • 0.75 teaspoon ground allspice
  • 0.75 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 0.75 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme, crushed
  • 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper, or to taste
  • 6 lean pork chops, 1/2 inch thick
Instructions:
  • Puree water, lemon juice, onion, brown sugar, green onion, oil, salt, allspice, cinnamon, black pepper, thyme, and cayenne pepper in a blender or food processor until velvety. Set aside 1/2 cup for basting.
  • Place the pork chops in a glass dish and pour the marinade over them. Cover and refrigerate for 12-24 hours.
  • Prepare your outdoor grill by preheating it to medium heat and lightly oiling the grate, positioning it 4 to 5 inches above the heat source.
  • Remove the marinated pork chops, allowing any excess marinade to drip off, and dispose of the remaining marinade.
  • Place the chops on the hot grill, cover them, and cook for approximately 5 minutes on each side until they are no longer pink in the middle. Make sure to use an instant-read thermometer to check that the internal temperature reaches a minimum of 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
