Receta Grilled Pork Chops with Caribbean Wet Rub
We served these pork chops over black beans and rice. It was a great combination. We took the wet rub from a recipe for pork tenderloin in Cooks Illustrated. I'm not sure it's powerful enough for a tenderloin unless it's butterflied, but it was wonderful on the pork chops. Normally we brine our pork chops before putting on the rub. Tonight we didn't have time so we just lightly dusted the chops with kosher salt and sugar while they were on the grill. If you have time, do the brining though as it will make the chops even more tender. Enjoy!

- If brining, dissolve the salt and sugar in 3 quarts cold water in a 2 gallon ziplock bag. Add the chops and seal the bar, pressing out the air. Refrigerate, turning the bag once, about 1 hour. (You can use two smaller bags if that's what you have, dividing the brine and chops. Remove the chops and pat dry with paper towels.
- Massage the wet rub into the pork chops with your fingers.
- Turn the burners on the grill to high, close the lid, and heat until grill is very hot (500F or more). Scrape the grill clean with a grill brush and spray with grill oil. Leave one burner on high, and turn the others to medium low. Grill the chops covered, over the hot part of the grill for 2 1/2 minutes on each side. Then move the chops to the medium-low part of the grill and continue to grill, turning once, for 7-9 minutes total until the chops reach 135F. Transfer to a plate, cover with foil, and let rest for 5 minutes. Temperature will rise to 145F. Serve.
