When the temperature soars, grilling and cooking outside is definitely the way to go. We have been doing just that especially during the weekends because grilling is in Ro-Ri San’s domain. So far we have grilled steaks, Boneless Pork Chops, and chicken. We also spend the 4th of July weekend smoking lots of ribs and pork loins. We are still learning to use our new Gas-and-Charcoal Grill and loving it.

Gas and Charcoal Grill

The good thing about having a dual fuel grill is being able to use either one depending on available time and one’s mood. Sometimes weather also dictates as is the case with so much rain lately. Gas grilling takes no time at all. Charcoal grilling takes a lot more time and effort but it does pay off. No doubts about it, food grilled with charcoal definitely has a better flavor and texture. If you take the time to do it properly, you will be rewarded with the juiciest and most delicious meats with a distinctly smoky flavor.

That said, life happens and we thank God there are gas grills because not everyone has the time or want to mess with a charcoal grill. So, today we are going to show you how to grill bone-in pork chops using the gas side of our grill. 🙂

Our Herb Barrels

If you follow me on Facebook, you will know that I have been spending a lot of time in my backyard this summer. Apart from growing a Patio Orchard, we also have a vegetable garden which I will share with you in the coming weeks. In this part of the backyard, we have two cedar barrels filled with our favorite herbs because I love cooking with fresh herbs in the summer.

In one of the barrels we have two rosemary plants, two different kinds of thyme, and a Thai basil. So far I’ve used the basil and thyme but not the rosemary. Since they are growing so well, they needed to be trimmed and used. Rosemary goes well with pork. Hence, today’s Rosemary Anchovy Pork Chops recipe.

Super Flavorful Rosemary Anchovy Pork Chops

Have you ever tried Pasta Puttanesca? If not, you are missing out. Anchovies are used in the sauce and it is lip smacking delicious. Anchovies give the sauce a depth of flavor much like what fish sauce does in Asian dishes. It is delicious and you have to give it a try. I have prepared this pasta many times but for some reason I have never posted the recipe. This is the reason why I always have a can or two of anchovies in my pantry. Anyway, one of these days I will post the recipe. Until then, let’s get back to our pork chops.

Rosemary anchovy marinade is often used in preparing lamb chops. When I was visiting my girlfriend in the UK many years ago, I picked up a Jamie Oliver cookbook at her house and chance upon his lamb chops with a rosemary anchovy marinade recipe. I can’t exactly remember the name of the recipe but I prepared the lamb chops shortly after I returned home from the UK. It was delicious and is now my go-to recipe for lamb chops which I have not prepared in a while.

Seeing my rosemary plants, I am again reminded of the rosemary anchovy marinade and so I figured I will give it a try on pork chops instead. I added some fresh thyme, like what I did in this Rosemary Thyme Baked Chicken. It turned out to be quite delicious and the guys really enjoyed the pork chops. As always, Ro-Ri San did a great job on the grill! He gets to clean it too…haha!

    That’s an awesome recipe for the grilling season! Thanks for recommending the tools for making the dish, too. 😀 Oh, if you don’t mind, I’ve got one question: I’m new here and I really like your recipes. I saw many people called you by the name “Biren”, not Linda. Is it your nickname or something? I’m a bit confused 😀

      You are welcome! We really enjoyed these pork chops. Will definitely prepare it again.

      Biren was a pseudonym I used when I first started blogging. Somewhere along the way, I decided to go by my real name because of contractual dealings. You can read about it here. 🙂
