Mediterranean-ish Pork Chops

DMW · July 2017

Stopped by Wegman's today to pickup some pork butts and ribs for this week and next weekend. Also grabbed a pack of chops for dinner tonight.
Just after I put them on the Small raised direct around 300*, the sky opened up and dumped some much needed rain. Ran out and set the rain cap on top:

Used an umbrella when I went out to flip and rearrange them:

While they were roasting, I made a sauce based on http://www.food.com/recipe/mediterranean-pork-chops-243405 minus the capers. Only reason, I didn't have capers.

Pulled them between 140*-148*, the thinner one got hotter.

Sliced and served with the sauce and a nice Mediterranean salad my wife made.

Really nice meal. Great combo of rub and sauce. The sauce is more of a chutney consistency.

Oh, and the lighting in my kitchen sucks...

Thanks! If it hadn't been raining, I probably would have taken the Woo out and dropped them down closer to the fire to finish and get them a bit darker color. That said, they were delicious as they were.
