Grilled Pork Chops, or Braciole di Maiale: Some dishes are involved. Others, like these Calabrian pork chops, are extremely simple.
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Ingredients:
- Six pork chops or slices boned pork loin
- Powdered hot pepper
- Fennel seeds
- Salt to taste
Preparation:
Take six slices of pork loin, about 1/2-3/4 of an inch thick, pound then gently to flatten them with the flat of a broad knife, and then rub them with powdered hot pepper and fennel seeds to taste (Calabria is known for spice, so feel free to make these zesty). Grill the meat over hot coals, turning the pieces once or twice, season them with salt to taste, and serve.
Serves 6
A wine? I might go with a Ciro' Bianco, as I find that spice and tannins of red wines clash.
