I bought some meat at the little Isla butcher eight days ago. The chicken was delicious, so I was eager to try the pork, which had come frozen. So I had decided to save it for a bit. This morning, I tossed it in a soy sauce/honey/garlic/lime juice marinade and let it thaw in the fridge. If you think that sounds suspiciously similar to the chicken marinade, you are correct. You just can’t go wrong with the combination of soy sauce, sweetener, an acid, and either garlic or onion!

To my surprise when I came to make dinner, I didn’t have one big super thick pork chop, but rather three big super thin chops! I much prefer thin chops to thick, so I was happy about this.

They were still a little frozen, so I tossed them into a hot pan with a lid until they separated, then I cooked them one at a time in three stages. Meanwhile, I made green beans and garlic mashed potatoes.

The pork chops were amazing! They were so moist and flavourful! I cooked them absolutely perfectly so they were tender and juicy. I will confess to gnawing on the bone a little. 🙂

It looks like a lot of meat, but there was quite a bit of bone, so one chop was the perfect size for a meal.

I usually prefer pork over chicken, especially when it comes to leftovers, so I’m quite happy to have the other two chops sitting in the fridge for the next couple of days. The marinade will continue to infuse them and they will just get tastier!
