Rosemary-Brined Pork Chops with Apples and Potatoes (Dinner)

Got thin ones so I brined as normal, but BBQd them instead of doing them on the stovetop and in the oven. SInce the BBQ was on I made grilled bread and onions too. Pork chop with green salad and grilled bread

Rosemary-Brined Pork Chops with Apples and Potatoes (Dinner)

Feedback last time was that the pork was too salty, so I left them chops in the brine for ~20 hours (instead of 24-36).

Rosemary-Brined Pork Chops with Apples and Potatoes (Dinner)

With Easy Roasted Brussels Sprouts Recipe and rice

Maybe a bit less salt in the brine next time? I liked it, though. Have to think about that one.

The Brussels are great with this recipe. Super easy. They looked like they were burning at 13 minutes, but I stuck with it until 20 and they were great.

Rosemary-Brined Pork Chops with Apples and Potatoes (Dinner)

The chops I got were really thin, so I didn't bother with the oven - just seared both sides for about 5 minutes.

Rosemary-Brined Pork Chops with Apples and Potatoes (Dinner)

From the Lost Kitchen cookbook page 169 (recipe).

Wow did these come out great. Second time I tried it; the first was lackluster, this was great.

About 24hr in the brine, I dried the chops then put them on a rack to come to room temp. Pans at full wack, although interestingly I got a great sear only on the side that was down when they went in the oven - but, a nice crust on that side, great flavor throughout.

I didn't bother with the apples or potatoes.
