CARIBBEAN JERK PORK CHOPS
These pork chops are absolutely delicious. My grandchildren literally beg for them. It's actually more of a method of cooking than an actual recipe. This recipe is very close to a restaurant's well known for their pork chops.

Steps:
- 1. A few days before cooking pork chops, I put them in a zip lock bag and completely cover them with the marinade, about 3/4 cup. Seal and place in the freezer - freezing them with the marinade seems to enhance the flavor. The day of cooking, remove from freezer to thaw. If thawing in the frig, be sure and lay them out to come to room temperature before cooking. Have gas grill heated and have heat about 3/4 of the way to the high heat. Place pork chops on top burner, not on direct heat. Cook 8 minutes on 1st side, turn and put marinade on cooked side. Cook 10 minutes and put marinade on other side. Cook about 3 minutes longer. It is very important to use the marinade as this coats the chops and when you see small air bubbles come to the top, the chops are done. The cook time is approximately 21 minutes, until you see the tiny bubbles on the top. Remove chops from grill to serving platter and let rest at least 5 minutes to retain juices, eat while they are hot.

Steps:
- In a mini food processor, combine the habanero, onion, scallion, garlic, allspice, thyme, ginger, nutmeg and cinnamon. Add 1 1/2 teaspoons of salt and 1 teaspoon of pepper. Process until finely chopped. Add the 1 tablespoon of oil and process to a smooth paste. 2. In a small bowl, whisk 1 tablespoon of the paste with the barbecue sauce. Spread the remaining paste all over the chops and let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. 3. Light a gas grill. Wrap the wood chips in heavy-duty foil, pierce the packet all over with a skewer and add to the grill. Cover and let the chips begin to smoke, about 5 minutes. 4. Lightly brush the chops with oil and season with salt. Grill the chops, covered, over moderately high heat, turning and shifting the chops occasionally, until they are lightly charred and a meat thermometer inserted nearest the bone registers 140°, 18 to 20 minutes. Transfer the chops to a platter and serve with the spiced barbecue sauce on the side.
Tips:
- For an authentic Jamaican flavor, use Scotch bonnet peppers. If you can't find Scotch bonnet peppers, you can substitute habanero peppers.
- Be careful not to overcook the pork chops. They should be cooked through but still juicy.
- If you don't have a grill, you can cook the pork chops in a skillet over medium heat.
- Serve the pork chops with your favorite sides, such as rice and peas, fried plantains, or coleslaw.
Conclusion:
This Caribbean jerk pork chops recipe is a delicious and easy way to enjoy Jamaican cuisine. The pork chops are marinated in a flavorful jerk sauce and then grilled to perfection. They are sure to be a hit at your next party or cookout.
