Lime Thyme Tarragon Pork Chops Recipes

LIME-THYME-TARRAGON PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Cut the pork chops in half, and while the grill is heating, squeeze a quarter of a lime over each of the four pieces.
• Sprinkle all four chops evenly on both sides with the thyme and tarragon and press spices in.
• Grind black pepper to taste on one side.
• When grill is hot, put mesquite chips on coals.
• Sear both sides of the chops quickly and then grill until done, turning once.
• Remove from grill to heated platter.
• Immediately salt and squeeze a little lime on each chop.
• Let rest for 5 minutes, loosely covered.
• Serve with any accumulated platter juices.

GARLIC-LIME PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Mix salt, Italian seasoning, black pepper, chili powder, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, paprika, and onion powder together in a bowl. Sprinkle spice mixture generously on both sides of pork chops.
• Heat butter and olive oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium heat. Cook pork until no longer pink in the center and golden brown on both sides, about 5 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Transfer pork chops to a serving plate, reserving juices in the skillet.
• Add lime juice and garlic powder to the same skillet and mix into leftover juices. Stir to combine and pour over the pork chops.

THYME PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• 1. In a small bowl combine thyme, olive oil, zest, lime juice, garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
• 2. Put pork chops in a shallow baking dish and pour mixture over the top. Turn chops to be sure they are coated with mixture on both sides. Put this into the refrigerator and allow to marinate for 1 to 4 hours.
• 3. Preheat grill or turn broiler on high. Cook for 13 to 15 minutes turning meat half way through cooking time. Serve with a salad and a side dish. Enjoy a delicious meal.
