On the menu tonight...

[Guest]

Tuscan grilled pork chops, honey-balsamic grilled carrots, sauteed hericot
verts, and ciabatta bread with "dippin" (as my daughters call it). It's just olive
oil, balsamic and pepper, with a little honey and garlic salt.

Pics and a recipe to follow...

I will say that I am using Kosmo's Pork Soak for the first time.

That is just "Fing" incredible! I can't wait to see your pictures! Which McCormick's rubs are you going to use?

 

[Guest]

Thanks. No McCormick tonight. I'm going with a brine/marinade approach. The Kosmo's
is the brine, and I'll give 'em a quick marinade in balsamic vinaigrette just before they
go on.

Then, I'll glaze them with a bit of honey, balsamic and a little butter a minute or so
before they come off.

hericot verts? :P

You're missing an A and a S....and I bet they're just GREEN BEANS.

 

[LarryWolfe]

I don't think John wanted to offend bald people and he didn't spell them haricot verts, as to not offend hairless people. Just my .02. But who am I? I just eat string beans.

McCormicks or not, When padiodaddio makes it I'm sure it can only be special.

No, not a genius, by any stretch. I'm just one guy that grillls, but I appreciate
your kind words.

John

P.S. Not to be a grammar teacher, but it's "you're", not "your".

 

[Guest]

OK, here are the pics. I decided not to cook the hericot verts, but the rest was good.

That is unbelivable bro. All it needed was string beans and it would have been the perfect meal. Your fantastic!

 

[LarryWolfe]

John, everything looks great! But I'll tell you, I've grilled carrots a few times and absolutely love them! Yours look fantastic and I gotta be honest, the glaze didn't sound good, but it sure looks good and after that pic, I may have to give it a shot!!! Nice cook bro!

BTW, what did you marinate the chops in? Looks good Bro!

Guess you overlooked it, but what did you marinate the chops in? They look great and moist!

Thanks, guys.

I am fairly certain it's not a marinade, but an Italian salad dressing of some sort - just can't tell which brand. I've got my first born riding on this one!!!

As I mentioned in the first post in the thread, I soaked them in Kosmo's Pork Soak
(4 hours). Then I rinsed the chops and marinated them for about an hour in balsamic
vinaigrette.

Is that the new clear balsamic I've been hearing about? Cause, all the balsamic's I've seen are much darker than what you've used. If so, where can I find this mysterious clear balsamic? Will they sell it to the average Joe like me or do I need to take a trophy with me when purchasing?
