Camping Chops
Ingredients:
– 4 pork chops
– 1/4 cup soy sauce
– 2 tablespoons honey
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Optional: lemon wedges and fresh herbs for garnish
Instructions:
1. In a large resealable bag, combine the soy sauce, honey, olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, salt, and pepper. Seal the bag and shake well to mix the marinade ingredients.
2. Add the pork chops to the bag with the marinade, ensuring each chop is coated evenly. Seal the bag tightly and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse.
3. When ready to cook, prepare your campfire or grill over medium-high heat. Let the flames die down, creating a bed of hot coals.
4. Remove the pork chops from the marinade and place them on the grill. Cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C), ensuring they are cooked through but still juicy.
5. As the pork chops cook, baste them with any remaining marinade to enhance the flavors and keep them moist.
6. Once the Camping Chops are cooked to perfection, remove them from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
7. Garnish with lemon wedges and fresh herbs, if desired, for a touch of brightness and freshness.
