Ingredients
- 4 cups of pure water
- 2 cups of freshly squeezed orange juice
- ½ cup of sea salt
- ½ cup of delicate light brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon of aromatic garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon of fragrant dried oregano
- 1 ½ teaspoons of finely ground thyme
- 4 succulent boneless pork chops
- 2 whole grapefruits, expertly juiced
- ¼ cup of rich brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon of fiery red pepper flakes
- 1 whole grapefruit, meticulously peeled and sectioned
- A pinch of salt and a sprinkle of black pepper to suit your taste buds
Step 1
Combine a refreshing mixture of water, orange juice, salt, brown sugar, garlic powder, oregano, and thyme in a spacious glass or ceramic bowl. Immerse the pork chops in this invigorating brine. Seal the bowl with plastic wrap and let the pork soak in the fridge for an hour to soak up all the flavors.
Step 2
In a saucepan, heat up a delightful blend of grapefruit juice, brown sugar, and red pepper flakes. Stir until the sugar dissolves and the mixture reaches a boil. Reduce the heat and cook until it thickens into a syrupy consistency, typically around 15 minutes. Set aside three tablespoons of this concoction. Introduce some grapefruit sections into the syrup and cook them for 5 to 10 minutes to infuse the flavors.
Step 3
Get the oven ready by preheating the broiler and positioning the rack about 6 inches from the heat source. Take the marinated pork chops out of the brine, pat them dry, and place them on a baking sheet lined with foil. Brush both sides of the chops with the reserved grapefruit juice syrup, sprinkle with salt and pepper. Broil each side for 7 to 10 minutes until the pork is cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 145 degrees F (63 degrees C) when checked with a thermometer.
Step 4
Finish off by garnishing the pork with the remaining fresh grapefruit sections and drizzling the relish on top for a burst of zesty flavor.
Extra Tips & Suggestions
- 1. Keep your succulent pork chops fresh by storing them in an airtight container or sealed plastic bag in the refrigerator.
- 2. Enhance the flavor of your pork chops by marinating them in a zesty citrus blend before storing.
- 3. For a burst of freshness, top your cooked pork chops with a squeeze of fresh lemon or orange juice.
