Sausage chops

Pork sirloin chops with sausage flavorings, actually. I know I've seen this recipe elsewhere but this time it came from a Good Housekeeping "weeknight meals" cookbook.

They were hiding in the freezer as a mystery package and when it thawed enough to break down I was happy to find these.


Most of the flavor comes from garlic, crushed fennel seeds, and olive oil. I salted the chops before adding the paste and let them sit refrigerated for a good 24 hours.


Direct charcoal heat made for some quick grilling.


Even though I used a lot of garlic the grilling really toned down the flavor and allowed the fennel to come through...they really did have an Italian sausage flavor.

There's an inspired idea! Me likes it. I've done the fennel seed trick with ground beef for things like meatballs, or pizzas, etc.

funny i did my porkloin tonight in a sausage seasoning.
came out well.

I sent the link to my wife and she says we need to try this one.....It really does look good
