By á-25087

Ingredients

• Blackberry-ginger sauce:
• 4 pork chops
• Salt and black pepper
• 1-2 tsp hot paprika
• Olive oil
• Sprigs of fresh rosemary
• 2 cups blackberries
• 1/2 tbsp fresh ginger - minced
• 1 fresh serano green chili peppers - minced
• 1/4 cup honey
• 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
• 1/4 cup lemon juice
• Salt & black pepper to taste

Preparation

Step 1

Rinse and pat the pork chops dry with paper towel. Rub olive oil on the meat and then season generously with salt, black pepper and hot paprika. Set aside.

In a medium bowl, mash up the blackberries into a sauce (leave a few chunky bits for texture). Then add in the rest of the ingredients, and combine. Transfer the sauce mixture into a saucepan, and heat to a simmer, Cook for about 8-10 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce begins to slightly thicken. Taste and make adjustments to the seasonings, if necessary. Set aside.

Fire up the grill to preheat. Then cook pork chops on medium fire for around 5 minutes on each side (if you have a cooking thermometer, the pork chop is done when the internal temp reaches 160F).

Place each pork chop on a plate, and pour the sauce over it. Garnish with fresh rosemary. Serve with grilled vegetables or your favorite green salad.
