Extra Thick Chops and CI Potatoes

[Mike Coffman]

The baby yellow potatoes were cut in half, coated with smoked olive oil and seasoned with Penzeys
Tuscan Sunset and Mural of Flavor. Potatoes were topped with sliced Vidalia onion and garlic.

1 1/2 inch pork chops were marinated for 10 hours with Grill Mates Spiced Brandy and Herb marinade.
Instead of the quarter cup of oil that the marinade called for I substituted a quarter cup of
Apricot-Pineapple preserves. Chops were dusted with Penzeys 33rd and Galena.

Potatoes were put on the Performer with a small chunk of apricot and a small chunk of peach wood.
Grill temperature at 375.

Potatoes are done!

Chops put onto the Performer direct.

Moved to the indirect side until internal of 140.

Almost done.

Chops are done at internal temp of 138. Pulled off Performer and tented for 15 minutes.

Plated with a couple dabs of Peach/Mango salsa.

Chops were tender, moist and took on the distinct flavor of the apricot-pineapple preserves.
Super delicious! Potatoes were a knockout again!

Thanks for looking!

[Bob Correll]

Killer cook and pics Mike!

It's funny, I didn't use to care much for grilled chops, back when I overcooked 'em
Now that I pull them, like you, just shy of 140 they taste as good as steak.
