Mojo Grilled Pork Chops



Every now and then our grocery store sells the most GINORMOUS pork chops ever, and I just cant ignore the cavegirl inside me.


And when it comes to grilling one of these bad boys, nothing will do but a mojo marinade.  This marinade is equally awesome on pork or chicken.


Just mix up the marinade below, get stab happy with a piece of pork and pierce it thoroughly, and let it marinade for 4+ hours or even overnight.


Throw it on the grill until its cooked through.  I served this up with some fresh guac and some cherry tomatoes sauteed with garlic, olive oil and green onions.

Ingredients for Marinade 
 6 cloves garlic, coarsely chopped 
.5 C minced yellow onion 
1 C freshly squeezed orange juice 
.5 C freshly squeezed lime juice 
.5 t ground cumin 
1 t dried oregano flakes 
.5 t lemon-pepper seasoning 
.5 t black pepper 
1 t kosher salt 
.25 cup chopped cilantro 
1 t hot pepper sauce 
1 cup olive oil 


 Method 
 Throw the garlic and onion in a food processor and pulse until very finely chopped. Pour in orange juice, lime juice, cumin, oregano, black pepper, salt, cilantro, and hot pepper sauce. Blend until thoroughly incorporated. Pour in the olive oil, and Continue until smooth.

  1. Ever since I read that pork and live blood analysis article, I always marinate my pork in something acidic. But I'm fairly boring and always use the same marinade...
    This looks like an awesome one to try for next time! : D
