 Marinated Pork Chop with Rosemary and garlic –  Made with an easy, yet tasty garlic and rosemary rub, healthy and a perfect pairing!

Rosemary Pork Chops

 

Most people often associate pork with pork shoulder, bacon, and sausage. It never falls under the category of lean meat. And this is so far from the truth. Truth be told, I was one of those people until I did some research.

Pork Loin

I love pork! Greasy, Fatty, Lean – Give it to me. You see, I hate giving up pork entirely when am cutting back on calories. So I use the leaner cuts of pork and I don’t feel deprived. In fact, they are quite juicy and tender and in my humble opinion better tasting than chicken breast. 

Pork Loin

The trick is to cook it to the proper degree of doneness. Let it rest for 10 minutes (or a few more) before slicing to allow the juices to distribute throughout the meat. When this is done the lean pork is Absolutely Amazing cut of meat.

 

With a weeknight pork I  always trying to keep it Sweet and Simple and it never disappoints. This is made out of one of my favorite spice mixture – garlic, rosemary , white pepper , and smoked paprika.

Now don’t even think of skipping out on the mango salsa- you will regret it! The first time, I tried this combo I was moaning throughout.

Mango Salsa

The spicy sweetness from the salsa complements the pork! Do make it!

      I found your site some months ago and I love the recipes. I made the Jamaican beef pattis that were such a big score at work. I also made the Ethiopian chicken and still have the pic of them on my cell. They were equally good. I made the flat bread to go with it too. I’m going to try this pork chop reicipi with the mango salsa soon. Thanku for all the delicious spices too. I have them in a jar that I use every so often. I tell many people about your site.

      Tried this over the weekend and it was great! I was a bit hesitant about the salsa though. To my surprise, it pairs well with the pork. Another great recipe!

      Ok, you’ve got me sold on trying this! I can almost taste it in my mind. However, in order to make hubby happy I’ll have to serve a starch of some kind with it. What would you suggest?
