Low Carb Dill Pickle Pork Chops Recipes

PICKLE JUICE-BRINED PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Place the pork chops in shallow dish and pour the pickle juice over. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator, turning occasionally, for at least 3 hours and up to overnight.
• Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
• Drain off and discard the brine. Pat the pork chops dry and season with salt and pepper.
• In a large cast-iron skillet set over medium-high heat, warm the oil until shimmering but not smoking. If using the dill sprigs, press half onto 1 side of the pork chops. Place the pork chops, dill-side down, in the skillet and cook until browned and crisp on that first side, about 3 minutes. Press the rest of the dill on the top side of the pork chops and flip. Immediately transfer the skillet to the oven.
• Roast the pork chops for about 10 minutes, until the meat springs back when you give it a forceful poke with your finger, 145°F (60°C) on an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest portion. The timing will vary somewhat depending on the thickness of your chops.
• Let the pork chops rest for 5 minutes before digging in.

PORK CHOPS WITH DILL PICKLE MARINADE

Steps:

• Arrange pork chops in a shallow dish. Cover with pickle juice. Marinate in refrigerator at least one hour, but I recommend from 8 to 24 hours.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat, and lightly oil grate.
• Drain pork chops and discard marinade. Cook the pork chops on the preheated grill until no longer pink in the center, 6 to 8 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
