Smoky Date Pork Chops balance the delicate sweetness of dates with caramelized onions. Smoky sweet goodness without added sugar.
Welcome to Day 2 of #BBQ Week with Festive Foodies! Follow along all week for great recipes and ideas for your next barbecue.
Thank you Ellen from Family Around the Table and Christie from A Kitchen Hoor’s Adventures for hosting our BBQ event and giveaway!
Today I thought a good, thick boneless pork chop should be on my dinner table. Pork holds up well to grilling. Boneless chops do take a bit longer to cook but it’s well worth the time.
Get a good sear on both sides then move to indirect heat or finish off in the oven.
I like topping meat with caramelized onions instead of fried onions. I reserve fried onions for cheese steaks only! Caramelizing onions in butter adds a sweet richness like no other.
Not Ketchup Smoky Date sauce goes well with grilled meat. You can use it as a marinade, grill sauce or dipping sauce.
I like to lightly brush it on right after the sear and let it cook in. You can always add more when it’s off the grill.
Pull your pork off the grill, add onions, more Not Ketchup Smoky Date sauce and enjoy!
Not Ketchup sauces are sweetened only with real fruit. They’re gluten free, vegan, low sugar, low carb, Paleo-friendly, Whole30-friendly, diabetic-friendly, and contain absolutely no added sugar.
