Try a dry rub. It may be even better than a marinade. Mix salt, pepper,
garlic powder, oregano and chopped mint. Rub it on to both sides of the
chops and let them sit for about an hour, the grill them. They are
delicious. It works especially well with thin chops.

thanks Dave, that sounds easy and tasty. I got large loin chops not
too thick. Will grill them on the weber with the hood down so they keep
nice and moist. Serving them with the rolled potato and proscuitto
slices that I posted sometime ago - Rotolo di Patata.

Cheers
Bron

Sure! Start off with a spice blend, a little like 5 spice (cinnamon, clove,
ginger, pepper, star anise etc.) - I add cardamom and corriander seed too,
grind it all up. I also use powdered chiles. Next, soy and sugar/honey,
maybe some lime or lemon juice. Mix well and paste all over the meat if
honey is used, if you used sugar, heat it first to melt it, then paste over
when it's cooled. Marinate like that for several hours or as long as you've
got then cook the meat still covered in the mixture. Works great with pork
in many ways does this, we love it here ',;~}~

This is a little too late for last night, but for future reference this
works very nicely with chops, "country ribs", etc.

11 oz. can mandarin orange slices with juice
1/2 c. teriyaki or soy sauce
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 c. vegetable oil
1/4 c. crystallized ginger
1 med. onion, quartered

Blend all ingredients in a blender or food processor until smooth. Pour
over the pork and cover and marinate overnight, turning the pork at least
once.

Thanks Jill. Sounds tasty, will keep that for another time. I ended up
doing a dry smoked chilli rub with spiced lavendar and herbs. Turned
out really lovely.

Thanks to Shaun aRe too for his suggestion.
