Pork Loin Chops!

Hello fellow chefs, aspiring chefs, people who love to cook, people want to learn how to cook, and people who just want to see what I make!

It's pretty late right now, but I decided that I wanted to start marinating some Pork Loin Chops I had sitting in the freezer. I bought these at the freakin' TOYS "R" US of meat; The University of Arizona Agricultural Center. This place is amazing because they have a MEAT SALE every FRIDAY! Their prices are pretty fair and the quality of the meat is excellent.

The first thing I had to do was thaw the meat. To do this just turn on some hot water in a plugged sink and let the meat sit (enclosed) until the meat is no longer frozen... a rock or heavy object placed on top will help to fully submerge anything you want to thaw.

Meat's ready and I kinda want to eat it raw... is that just me?

Above are the spices I will be using for this recipe. So what I'm going to do next is generously season both sides of the Pork Loin Chops with all of these spices. If you're super crazy about measurements...

                                - 1 tsp Salt

                                - 1 tsp Garlic Powder

                                - 1 tsp Onion Powder

                                - 1/2 tsp Black Pepper

                                - Crushed Red Pepper to your level of spiciness 

                                - 1 tsp Dried Rosemary Leaves

                                - 1/2 tbsp of Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Make sure to massage all of the spices into the meat, the Extra Virgin Olive Oil will help to do this along with adding great flavor.

Here's what it should look like after spicing...

I'm going to bag the seasoned Pork Loin Chops in a Ziploc bag and let them marinade in the fridge over night.

I'll post the cooking part of this process later in the evening!

Goodnight for now.
