Pork Chops in BBQ sauce

Midweek meals are sometimes difficult to make interesting.  But as you may have come to realise, the two contributors to this blog rarely prepare standard meat and 3 veg fare like they had in their childhood.  So with the dilemma  of 2 plain pork chops looking at me I was on the hunt for some spices to make them pop.  The following is a marinade that you don't need to make ahead of time as the chops actually cook in the sauce. So it's super quick for a midweek dinner with the added benefit that all the ingredients are already in the pantry.


Ingredients

Marinade

3 Tablespoons quality BBQ sauce

1 Tablespoon Soy sauce

1 Tablespoon Olive Oil

1 Teaspoon brown sugar

2 Teaspoons Balsamic vinegar

1 Teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

1 Teaspoon garlic, minced

1/4 Teaspoon salt

1/4 Teaspoon cayenne pepper (use less if not keen on heat)

Method

Preheat oven to 180 degrees Celsius

Prepare the pork chops by combining 1/2 Teaspoon each of garlic powder, onion powder (i didn't have any) and paprika. Rub this over the pork chops and then season with salt and pepper.

Combine all the marinade ingredients into an oven dish. Add the pork chops and baste.

Place in the oven on the top shelf because at the end of the cooking we will be grilling to make golden and crunchy.

Cook chops for 20 minutes, turning and basting every 10 minutes.

Turn oven to grill and then allow a further 5-7 minutes each side until edges are caramelised.

Top with fresh herbs and serve.  

Our accompaniments were mashed pumpkin and sautéed cabbage, bacon and fennel seeds.
