  • Porktastic meal features sesame Asian flavors and a kick.

Porktastic meal features sesame Asian flavors and a kick.

Main Course / April 19, 2014

It’s been forever since I prepared pork loin chops for dinner. It used to be something we had 5 or 6 times a month. But I’ve gotten away from them and I can’t recall why. What I do recall is why I used to make them all the time; they’re dang good and one of our favorite meals.

For one thing, whatever flavor you’re in the mood for, a good pork loin chop will stand up to it and even enhance it. Tonight I was in the mood for Asian and Ron was happy to grill. Sesame oil was the star, ginger was the show-off, habanero was the kick and herbs made it pretty. Oh, and chop sticks made it fun!!  Voila’…dinner.
