Caramelised Pork Chops: Quick, Easy, and Flavorful
Not only are these pork chops packed with flavor, but they are so quick and easy to make, taking only 30 minutes. There is no need to marinate the pork chops in the fridge for hours either, as the basting has an intense flavor already. The basting is made from Worcestershire sauce, tomato sauce, honey, and soya sauce, creating a sweet and sticky coating that caramelises the pork chops perfectly when grilled. This dish is so simple to make, it is basically foolproof!
This dish includes potatoes that are cooked in the same tray as the pork chops- making this very much a one pan dish! The potatoes can be mixed with the same basting from the pork chops, adding a touch of sweetness to them too!
When you are ready to serve the pork chops, remember to rest them for about 10 minutes- this will allow the juices to reabsorb into the chops. Serve these delectable caramelised pork chops with some garlic bread and fresh salads, and prepare to be indulged!
