Puerto Rican Grilled Pork Chops and Onions

By carvalhohm

Ingredients

• 6 (3/4 to 1 inch thick) pork chops, trimmed
• 1 large onion, peeled and thickly sliced
• 1 cup of Mojo Criollo marinade plus more for basting

Preparation

Step 1

Place chops and onion on grill. Cook, turning occasionally and basting with additional Mojo for about 15-20 minutes. Chops are done when they are browned on both sides and reach 160°. Onion should be nicely browned.

*If you do not have a self-sealing bag, be sure to use a non-reactive container such as glass or stainless steel baking dish to marinate your chops. Do not use aluminum.

In self-sealing bag*, combine chops, onion and 1 cup of Mojo. Seal and let marinate in refrigerator for as little as 15 minutes or up to overnight. The longer it marinates more Mojo flavor.

Prepare medium-hot fire in grill. Remove chops and onion from marinade, shaking off excess liquid. Discard marinade.
