Recipe of the Week 06/06/09---Pork Chops in Brine

As promised I am showing you how to brine pork chops this week.

Ingredients


Water
Salt
Herbs of choice (I just use a bit of everything really)
Pork Chops (this works well with chicken too).
Onions
Garlic cloves
Peppercorns

Mix salt and herbs into water (use a lot of water).



Slice onions thinly and add to water.


Smash garlic and take of peel. Add to water.


Add a few peppercorns. Don't go over board with these.


Stir until salt is dissolved. Add pork chops cover and refrigerate for a couple of days.


After a couple of days remove pork chops and discard brine. Rinse (don't worry all the flavor is inside now) pork chops off and pat dry.


Cook as us would usually. Happy Eating!
