Blackstone Jalapeno Brined Pork Chops
Blackstone Jalapeno Brined Pork Chops is a spicy dinner griddle recipe for bone in pork chops topped with an apple jalapeno relish!
Equipment
- Blackstone Griddle
- Flat Top Grill/ Griddle
Ingredients
- 4 bone-in pork chops
- 1 1/2 cups jalapeno brine (leftover from a jar of pickled jalapenos)
- 1/4 cup (plus 2 tablespoons) brown sugar
- all-purpose seasoning blend of choice (I used Blackstone All Purpose seasoning and also Blackstone Honey Jalapeno seasoning)
- kosher salt, pepper
- cooking oil of choice
- 1 large Honeycrisp apple (or 2 small) diced, skin on
- 2 jalapeno peppers some seeds removed, diced
- 2 tablespoons butter
Instructions
- Place the pork chops in a gallon size plastic bag. Add the jalapeno brine and 1/4 cup brown sugar. Massage the bag until the brown sugar is dissolved. Place in a large bowl (in case of a leak) and into the fridge for 24 hours.
- Remove the pork chops, discard the brine, and pat the pork dry with paper towels. Season both sides with all-purpose seasoning blend of choice, kosher salt, and pepper.
- Preheat griddle to medium. Add cooking oil of choice. Put apples, jalapenos, kosher salt, and pepper on one side of griddle and pork chops on the other side.
- Cook 6 to 8 minutes total, mixing apples and jalapenos a few times and flipping the pork chops. Add remaining 2 tablespoons brown sugar and butter to apples and jalapenos during the last 2 minutes, mixing a few times.
- Serve with the apple jalapeno relish over top of the pork chops.
