Directions
Grilled Pork Chops With Herb Rub, Brining pork chops is undoubtedly the best way to prepare them. After I did it once, I will no longer prepare them any other way. They are juicy and delicious and far better than any I’ve ever had before., Do not brine pork chops for longer than 30 minutes. This recipe was way, way too salty. Ruined my dish. A short brine may be successeful but going 4 hours is way too long. No amount of rub can counter that salt. Brining a turkey overnight is ok but not small cuts like chops. The herb rub is great especially with fresh rosemary and sage and I added fresh thyme., OK. Sort of balancing the recipe by taking the recommendations of others, we cut the crushed fennel down to 1 teaspoon, reduced the kosher salt in the rub down the 1/2 teaspoon and added a little extra virgin to make the rub into a paste. All of the herbs we used were fresh, with the crushed fennel seeds being the exception. The taste was phenomenal!! This recipe with those modifications is a 100% WINNER!
