Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup asian fish sauce
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 medium shallots, minced
  • 2 teaspoons fresh ground pepper
  • 8 thin pork chops, center cut with bone (about 6 oz each)
  • salt
  • 1/4 cup peanuts, salted, chopped

Method

  • Note - The ingredients above are directly from the recipe; however, I didn't use the shallots when I made mine. I didn't have any. I also didn't use the peanuts b/c I forgot. But honestly, I don't think you need them. Nor did I add the salt b/c fish sauce is pretty salty tasting.
  • Combine vegetable oil with honey, fish sauce, garlic, shallots and pepper. Add the pork chops, coat thoroughly in marinade and refrigerate over night or place in freezer bag and freeze. (Mine marinaded more than one night once thawed - turned out great!).
  • Lightly season pork chops with salt (I did not do this step). Brush grill with oil (I used indoor grill pan). IMPORTANT - cook the pork over a very HIGH heat until nicely charred and just cooked through, about 3 minutes per side.
  • Scatter the peanuts on top and serve right away. (However, I have refrigerated these and reheated the next night in microwave on 50% power and they turned out fine.).
