Grilled Pork Chops with Ginger Barbecue Sauce
Total time: 30 minutes
At first glance it seems like a lot of ginger in this recipe - both on the chops and in the sauce. But it works well, adding an underlying flavor that is not too 'ginger-y' or particularly hot; just a tiny kick.... When you are marinating meat it helps to poke it with a fork, to let the marinade penetrate.
Ingredients:
- 2 - 4 pork chops - depending on size, 350gr, 12.5oz boneless top loin chops
- Marinade
- 1 tbs red wine vinegar, 15gr, .53oz
- 1 tbs soy sauce, 16gr, .56oz

Instructions:
