Picante Chops with Iron Skillet Yams

[Jim Lampe]

Marinated for days, two thick pork chops in Goya Picante Mojo then seasoned with Penzey's Galena Street.

using all used Kingsford, the Weber chimney was nearly filled to the brim...

skinned the yams then sliced thick 1.5 inch slabs, EVOO'd them & in to a cast iron skillet.

no seasoning on those yams, just plain ol' naked and turned over after 30 minutes.
these get cooked in no time.
now time for the pork chops...

direct to sear then off to the side for a 135ºF internal temp...

once removed from the 26" Weber, the chops were foil tented for 15 minutes or so.
meanwhile, fresh from the garden is our own Bok Choy.
Lightly sautéed in rice wine vinegar with thin sliced onions.
Then, a drop or three of seasame oil to serve.

The chop was amazingly tender and juicy...

the mix of flavours with the Bok Choy & the Picante pork & the yams were very interesting, tasty & Fun!
Liz liked it, I liked it and you may like it too ;D

Those chops looked very pale after their soak. Did you notice a huge taste difference than say a straight up grill?

Only one chop on your plate? Have you gone on a diet? Great looking dinner Jim.

 

[Jim Lampe]

thanks for those kind words
Paul, the chops looked very pale, colourless in fact. However, the marinade did add tons of flavour to the pork... wish i could have save a cut of it for you to taste, certain you'd have liked it too

Bob, did you know that DIET is DIE with a tee...? No, not dieting. Yet.
