Jerk Pork Chops

Several weeks ago, I made Jerk Pork chops for House night, and had every intention of putting the recipe up on the blog since then. Sadly, weeks later, I'm only now getting around to it. But the important thing is that I'm sharing a recipe which my roommate Sarah said, "Whoa! That really smells like fall!."

Inspiration: Pork Chops from Gartners
Time: 30 minutes
Difficulty: Easy
Special Equipment: Food Processor
Servings: 4 Pork Chops

Ingredients:
1 medium onion, roughly chopped
1 tsp dried thyme
1 tsp granulated sugar
1 tsp salt
1 tsp ground pepper
1/2 tsp cayenne powder
1/4 tsp ground cloves
1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp. fresh ground nutmeg
2 thick cut pork chops, washed and patted dry.

1. Preheat grill to be very hot. Brush clean and spray with olive oil.
2. In a food processor, combine all ingredients (but the pork chops of course) and created coarse paste by pulsing the blade. Rub chops with jerk paste and let sit for 15-20 minutes.
3. Grill pork over the very high heat for approx 5 minutes. Flip and cook on other side until tender.

(Note: Pork does not need to be cooked through until it is a dry coarse chunk of meat. You can cook pork to medium and it's perfectly safe to eat, and better yet, it's moist and delicious.)
