Grilled Porkchops with Jalapeno Cornbread Stuffin'

cowgirl · Nov 10, 2011

I grilled these on the Char-Broil infrared...
this was my third time using the grill, I'm still learning.

quick cured some pork chops for 2 hours with tenderquick..

while the chops cured I made a skillet of jalapeno cornbread..
adding minced jalapenos, minced scallions and whole kernals of corn.

made the stuffing of jalapeno cornbread, melted butter, chicken stock and cracked black pepper...

rinsed the cured chops, cut a slit down the middle and filled with stuffing..
drizzled with olive oil and sprinkled with cracked black pepper.

grilled on medium high heat until the stuffing reached an IT of 165F

I liked em. :becky:

Thanks for looking!

That looks great! I hope that cornbread wasn't sweet or you'll never hear the end of it from Guerry......

Looks great, reminds me of the chops I got as a kid on my grandfathers farm. I think they where cured, then smoked, then stuffed and grilled. Wish I had that recipe today.

hahahaa... Thanks! It wasn't sweet. Had a bit of a bite from the jalapenos and onions, and I cooked the bread in a smoker.

Was the quick cure enough to make them taste hammy and less like a regular pork chop?

Dan thanks! It's really good to see you. You and family are on my mind.

They weren't hammy, just moist and tender... the chops were about 1 1/2" thick and I didn't cure them very long. I think a longer cure would have made them "hammy".

Thanks again friends!

That is looking really good..........

Jeanie could you expand a bit on the cure process? Did you just sprinkle some TQ on them and let them sit?

gtr · Nov 11, 2011

^^^Yeah, the quick cure caught my eye as well - I'd like to hear more about that - sounds very interesting - is that a moisture retention thing?

So glad to hear the cornbread wasn't sweet - further proof that you do just about everything right! :clap2:

I sprinkle the chops with TQ (1TBS will do 1 pound of meat).. then I place them in a plastic bag and let them sit in the fridge for 1 to 2 hours. The thinner chops only take about 1 hour. I usually cure thick ones for 2 hours. They need to be rinsed well after curing.
The quick cure makes the chop moist and tender.
