Of course, you know any beautiful weekend will find me next to the grill...... okay, okay, almost all weekends will find me next to the grill - the fantastic thing about living where I don't have to think about digging it out from under snow!! And what better to grill than meat?? lol Any meat will do, but two weekends ago, it was pork... mmmm!!! Now, I stumbled across this recipe on my Grill-it! app and still am not quite sure why the author called it Hoisin marinated. One, there is no hoisin in his original recipe and two, I couldn't even find a definition of hoisin that would make me understand the name.... Nonetheless, it was a pretty dang good pork recipe and is definitely worth sharing with you.... the sauce recipe... well that's mine... you know you gotta have a good sauce.. I mean, what if I over cooked the chops.... (as if.... ) :)

3 Tablespoons sour cream
2 teaspoons Hoisin sauce
2 teaspoon Srircha
1/2 teaspoon lime juice
Directions:
In a small bowl or measuring cup, add the peanut butter and stir it around to help loosen it up. Add the soy, a little at a time, stirring to incorporate into the peanut butter. Add the Sriracha, rice vinegar and sesame oil; stirring to combine. Place the pork in a shallow dish or resealable bag and pour the marinade over, making sure to cover both sides. Place in refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
To make the sauce - in a small bowl, add all the ingredients and stir until well combined. Cover and place in refrigerator until ready to use.
Preheat grill to 375 degrees. Remove pork from marinade and place over direct heat. Grill 4-5 minutes per side or until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees F. Remove from grill and allow to rest for 5-8 minutes before serving. Serve with hoisin sauce and enjoy!

I still have half bottle of hoisin sauce in the fridge, this recipe comes just in time. Thanks, Jenn, for sharing.
I haven't had hoisin sauce on hand in years. No reason, just don't think of using it all that often. But I think I could reproduce this (to a degree) with soy sauce and miso. And maybe some spicy preserved radish I happen to have.
Darn it, anonymous got selected. But it's me.
Great flavors in this pork Jenn. I am glad you had a nice weekend.
I haven't had good old-fashioned pork chops for ages... these look really great. love that marinade x
We had a pretty weekend as well - sunny and low 70's were perfect for outside chores. But back to winter weather the next few days.
What a flavorful dish, Jenn. I love hoisin sauce and you have used it wonderfully well here. I have to try this. Have a great day. Blessings...Mary
Too funny, at least the sauce had hoisin in it!
