Culinary Disasters

I have a passion for spicy food and this dish is a great balance of heat and swet.  I like to serve it with a slice of grilled pineapple to add to the sweetness.

For this dish you are going to need:

• 4 thick cut pork chops
• 1 onion cut into large slices
• 4 cloves of garlic large dice
• 1 habanero pepper quartered (relax the heat of the habanero is muted by the sweetness from the spices but if you must feel free to substiute a jalapeno).
• 2 tb kosher salt
• 1 tea black pepper
• 1 tea allspice
• 1 tea nutmeg
• 1 tea cinnamon
• 1 tb fresh thyme leaves
• 1/4 cup worcestershire sauce
• 1/4 cup white wine vinegar

Basically you basically throw everything but the pork chops into a food processor or blender and mix till all combined into a paste.

Pour the mixture over the pork chops and let it marinade overnight.

 I like to grill these so when you are ready fire up your grill to high.  Place the pork chops on the grill and cook for 4 minutes.  Rotate it 90 degrees and cook for another 2 minutes.  Flip and cook for another 3 minutes.  The reason why we rotated the pork chop was to give it a nice criss cross look on the presentation side.  If you don’t have a grill feel free to throw them in a 350 degree oven till an internal temp of 145 (about 20-25 minutes).

Serve and enjoy.
