Peruvian Marinated Double Cut Pork Chops on the Minimax

edited September 2016 in EggHead Forum
I made Peruvian chicken following the post by @KiterTodd and it was fantastic.

I thought that the marinade and dip, with a bit of tweaking, would work well with double cut pork chops, so we gave it a try. It worked ... really well. I loved the combination of the spice and savoury notes in the marinade, it was fantastic with the flavour and texture of the pork. Served with a sour cream dip and black bean coconut rice and a Dundee Hills Pinot Noir.

Recipes are on my food blog:

    That looks delicious!

    i have a question on the side dish recipe though - it calls for 2 tablespoons of allspice - is that correct? I have only ever seen it used sparingly... 

    thanks!

    @UKMatt - yep, 2 tbsp is correct. Bear in mind it is for four servings and is tempered with coconut milk. You could do 1 tbsp (or even 1tsp) and adjust according to taste.

    Also, as we discussed in the Peruvian chicken thread, all spice from one supplier may not be the same as all spice from another, I use Schwartz all spice. I used to use Schwartz cumin, then I bought East End cumin, it is at least three times as powerful as Schwartz. I foolishly did not test this before adding it to an aromatic duck rub, ruined the meal that evening :).

    @Aviator / @mikeinccfl / @bgebrent - thanks.
