Protein Power: Grilled Balsamic & Herb Pork Chops

 

Another delicious dinner last night.  I'm enjoying trying out these recipes from our Spring/Summer 2023 booklet.  However, this one you can fix anytime as the products are from our standard line.  I didn't do any substitutions but you are welcome to do so.

Here's what you need:

1/3 cup Aged Balsamic Vinegar of Moderna

1/4 cup olive oil

2 Tablespoons Rustic Herb Seasoning

6 boneless pork loin chops (about 2 pounds)

And here's how you fix it:

1. 
   Combine first 3 ingredients in a gallon freezer bag.  Add pork; seal well and toss to coat.  Refrigerate 2 hours or up to overnight.
2. Prepare grill to medium heat.  Remove pork chops from marinade; discard bag with marinade.
3. 
   Place pork on grill.  Grill, turning occasionally, until internal temperature reaches 155 degrees F on an instant-read food thermometer, about 10-15 minutes.

I didn't grill them on a grill but in a skillet on stove top.  

As  you can tell from the  photos, we had steamed green beans (fresh) and fried potatoes (I used Tastefully Simple's Infused Garlic Oil and Seasoned Pepper).  You can use your own sides like a green salad.

Here's the nutritional information per serving.  The recipe makes 6 servings.

You can make ahead and freeze this as well.  That is what I did with the remaining pork chops.  You prepare step 1.  Seal well, label and freeze.  Thaw completely.  Continue with step 2.
