Lunch 7/31/2011
Today, I grilled pork loin chops with a mayhaw jelly glaze (tastes similar to apple jelly). For a side I fixed an apple crisp from scratch. All of this was prepared on my gas grill. I preheated the grill while I prepped the apple crisp.
The apple crisp directions:
- Peel and slice up three granny smith apples.
- Mix the apples with a tablespoon of lemon juice, 1/3 cup of brown sugar and a tablespoon of some sort of apple pie seasoning (nutmeg, cinnamon or some sort of premade mix). I used McCormick Pumpkin Pie Spice. It was what I had on hand.
- Melt half a stick of salted butter in a 9″ cast iron skillet.
- Mix 3/4 cups of granola with a 1/2 cup of walnuts pieces. Pour half the melted butter in this mix and stir.
- Add the apple mixture to the skillet and then put the topping on top of this.
- Lower the flame on the grill to low, and place the skillet on the grill. It will take about half an hour for it to cook. I would recommend turning the burners under the skillet off after 15 minutes, if possible.
The pork loin chops were easy. I seasoned them with salt and pepper and placed them on the grill about 10 minutes before the crisp was ready. I melted a couple of spoonfuls of jelly in the microwave (15 seconds) and then brushed it on the chops about 5 minutes before they were ready.
