Smoky Paprika Pork Recipes

SMOKY PAPRIKA PORK

Steps:

• Mix all the spices with the olive oil, you should get a thick paste.
• Rub this on the pork, put the pork in a plastic bag and marinate in the fridge, minimal 4 hours but preferably overnight.
• To be on the safe side, put the pork in the bag in a dish, once my bag leaked and the fridge was orange!
• Remove from the fridge 30 minutes before cooking, there will be juices now in the bag, you can use them for basting if you want.
• Heat up a grill pan, no oil, and fry 7 to 8 minutes on each side, longer if you want the pork more well done, it will also depend on the thickness of the pork.
• Cut in diagonal slices and serve with the lemon.
• This also very nice done on the barbeque.
• You can cut down on the cooking time by cutting the meat in slices before cooking.

GRILLED PORK CHOPS WITH SMOKED PAPRIKA RUB

Steps:

• Combine smoked paprika, salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic, and cayenne in a small bowl.
• Pat chops dry with a paper towel and evenly distribute dry ingredient mixture on front and back of each chop. With fingertips, lightly rub dry ingredient mixture into the chops on both sides.
• Place chops on a plate and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 8 hours.
• Remove rubbed chops from the refrigerator and allow to come to room temperature, about 20 minutes.
• While chops are getting to room temperature, clean the grate of an outdoor gas grill and preheat to medium heat.
• When the grill is ready, lightly spray chops with avocado oil spray.
• Lightly oil the grill grates, place chops on the grill, and cook for about 3 minutes. Rotate chops 90 degrees to create a criss-cross grill pattern and continue grilling for 3 minutes. Turn chops and grill until pork chops are no longer pink inside, about 4 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
• Remove to a serving platter and allow to rest under a foil tent, for about 5 minutes. Serve warm.
