Don't you forget about me

Hello!  I know you have all been checking the blog hourly to see if I've posted my review of our final Diabetes-friendly recipe from Friday!  Well...  Wait to more!  Here we go... =)

In all honesty, Nick should be the one doing the recipe review.  He was off from work on Friday, so he was the one who actually made the pork chops.

I picked his brain a little bit and he informed me that the recipe was pretty easy.  Anyone who knows Nick knows that he's not a big cook.  He can cook (if he tells you he can't, don't believe him!!), but it's just not something that he enjoys doing on a regular basis. So if he said the recipe was easy, then believe me, it was!

I CAN vouch for the taste of the meal.  The pork chops had good flavor.  I could taste the ginger, but it wasn't over-powering.  I would definitely let Nick make them again! =)

Beer-Grilled Chops

Serves 4

Ingredients
  • 4 bone-in pork chops, about 3/4-inch thick
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ginger root, grated
  • 1 cup beer
Directions
  1. Place chops in a self-sealing plastic bag; add remaining ingredients and seal bag. Gently massage bag to evenly distribute marinade ingredients. Refrigerate 4-24 hours.
  2. Prepare medium-hot coals in kettle-style grill. Remove chops from marinade and discard marinade; place on grill directly over coals, cover grill and grill for 10 minutes, turning once.
