This was tonight's dinner - an adaptation of a recipe
by Donna Hay. She used Harissa, which I did not have
but I did have sambal. This is what I did:

Grilled Pork Chops in Chile Paste & Lime Marinade
|
adapted from Donna Hay, Cooking From The Pantry
|
Marinade:
2 tsp sambal
4 tbsp lime juice
4 tbsp vegetable oil
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tbsp Splenda
2 tbsp chopped cilantro
Pork:
4 sirloin pork chops, * from Costco
salt, to taste
|
In a large zip-type bag, place the pork chops. In a
bowl, combine the marinade ingredients. Place the
marinade in the bag with the chops, mush it around and
seal it. Refrigerate for 2-4 hours.
To cook, preheat cast iron stovetop grill. When ready
to cook (grill is smokin' hot), rub some of the
marinade off and put the chops on the grill.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Cook chops on stovetop grill for 7 minutes per side.
Place in ovenproof skillet and finish cooking,
anywhere from 10-20 minutes for 150 degrees F internal
temp.
Let sit for 10 minutes.
Serve with Meditteranean Couscous (box mix) or with
basmati rice.**
Risa's notes:
* I buy sirloin pork chops at Costco. They are about 1
to 1-1/2 inches in thickness and take awhile to cook.
You get a large package for about $13 or so.
** For low carbers, use cauliflower "rice" which is a
great substitute for the basmati, same color, bland
flavor.
Also, I put some cooked chopped onion and some
cilantro into the finished couscous and melted a tiny
bit of butter into it.
I drizzled a touch of cilantro oil over the chops
before serving them.
Serves 4 or 2 with a ton of leftovers.
