Pork Chops with Garlic Jam and The Fairy Hobmother

The perfect combination of foods, pork and garlic.  If you know me, pork is my preference when it comes to meat and you would also know that garlic is one of my absolute favorite ingredients to use.  So when I came across this recipe for a garlic jam from Emeril (posted all over the internet), I knew I had to try it, and it did not disappoint at all.  The flavor and smell of the garlic served with the pork was amazingly good and overall pretty easy to make.

Ingredients:

• 4 heads garlic, roasted
• 1/4 sweet onion, finely diced
• 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice (fresh)
• Coarse Salt
• Freshly ground black pepper
• 4 Pork Chops (bone-in)

Directions:

Start off by preparing the garlic jam (can do the night before or even a few days earlier) by taking the roasted garlic and squeezing the garlic cloves into a bowl.  Add in the diced onions and mash with a fork until smooth.  Stir in the Worcestershire and lemon juice until smooth and creamy.  Season with a pinch of coarse salt.  Store in an air-tight container inside the refrigerator.

Prepare the grill for medium–high direct grilling.  Season the pork chops with salt and pepper and grill until the internal temperature reaches 145.  Once done, remove from the grill and let the chops rest for 3 minutes.  Serve the pork chops with the garlic jam.

On the fun side,

I was recently visited by the Fairy Hobmother!  Fairy What??  The fairy hobmother is actually Ian from Appliance Online, who are currently promoting the Bosch Logixx range of appliances.  So what is so exciting about being visited by the Fairy Hobmother, well I received a $40 dollar Amazon gift certificate!  And since I do plenty of online shopping, this definitely will come in handy.
