REC:Succulent Grilled Pork Chops

[texasgirl]

1 cup Mayo
2 Tbls lime juice
2 Tbls. chopped cilantro
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 tsp. chipotle chili powder
8 pork chops
Mix ingredients together. Reserve 1/2 cup and set aside
Brush mixture onto pork chops as you grill.
Serve with reserved mixture.

Question: Is there something that I can substitue with the cilantro? I hate cilantro.

Let's back up a sec. Won't the lime juice curdle the mayo?

 

[texasgirl]

I have no idea, I got this from a monthly magazine that has little recipes in it.

Mud, it shouldn't curdle it; mayo is pretty indestructable!


I just made a lemon tart that called for 3/4 cup of heavy cream in addition to all the lemon juice; I was scared stiff it was all going to curdle when I poured the cream in, but it was fine.

Mayo usually has lemon juice in it already. I guess a little more won't hurt.

Should be fine, store bought mayos are typically loaded with stablizers so it should hold up against the acidity of the lime juice

I really don't like living in a small town!
We have a Brookshires and they don't ever have anything new or out of the ordinary. They didn't have the chipotle chili powder
I even looked for some kind of chipotle sauce, oh no, not them!!

Is there a way to make my own?

Okay, until I get the spices that I ordered, is there a way I can make my own? I wanted to make this tomorrow.

Let's see, texasgirl ... in answer to your original question, you can substitute parsley for cilantro (I hate cilantro, too - does it taste like plastic to you, too?)

Secondly, to make your own chipotle powder, you can buy dried chipotles and pulverize them in a coffee grinder. Chipotles are smoked, dried jalapenos which you COULD make them yourself from fresh jalapenos, but that's way too much work, as far as I'm concerned.

Thank you!! Hopefully, the store has the peppers. If not, I guess I will just have to drive the 30 miles to Walmart.
