Grilled Stuff Pork Chops
Chops went in Mad Hunky’s Pork Brine for 24 hours. The aroma of the brine was so appetizing we knew it was going to be good:
Assembled the ingredients:
Opened a pocket, stuffed the chop, dried fruit and added some herbs:
Closed with a skewer:
Warm up the grill, fired up the sear burner and the chops went on. Four one minute flips and turns and moved to the low side until 145 internal degrees:
Pulled to rest under foil tent for 10 minutes:
Dinner was ready in the sunroom:
Plated:

Just an idea - you can buy a whole or half pork loin and cut chops as thick as you want
Beautiful dinner, Savannah!

Sorry, but this is a commercial product that I wanted to try. Here is the web site. Welcome to MadHunkyMeats.com. It is a little pricey IMO.
I do have my own pork brine recipe, Mohunken Pork Brine, that was picked up and published in American Grills if any one wants it.

Not much of a recipe. Using what is showned in the picture, chop the dry fruit, cut a pocket and stuff, season, smear on some olive oil, sear for about 4 total minutes and move to low heat, pull at 145 degrees internal and rest for 10 minutes. This is a very simple cook and it will impress friends.
Thanks all for the interest.

The pork brine...
Sorry I'm late to this discussion...
Hi..Rich "The Mad Hunky" here... I wnted to address the "bit pricy" comment... actually, Sav you did not use the brine in the most efficient way. There is no need to "float" the meat in a pot... that's just wasting product.
Those 4 chops could have been done in only a pint of brine..about 2-3 tablespoons powder and a pint of water by using a gallon ziplock bag and "burping" the air out so the meat remains covered in the brine. That's all it will take to get the job done!
Glad you enjoyed the results...
If anyone has any q's...drop me a PM :{)
