I am in search of new grilling and marinade recipes.  Sometimes it is easy to get stuck doing the same ol same ol every day.  This marinade is a little sweet and tangy at the same time.  It would also be great on chicken or swordfish.  We all agreed it should be in the rotation!

Cuban Marinated Pork Chops

  • ¾ cup extra virgin olive oil
  • ¾ cup orange juice
  • ½ cup lime juice
  • 1 cup cilantro
  • ¼ mint
  • 8 garlic cloves
  • 1 Tbsp oregano
  • 1 Tbsp cumin
  • 1 Tbsp orange zest
  • 8 pork chops
  1. Place extra virgin olive oil thru cumin in a food processor and run until it is finely chopped. Add the marinade to a zip lock bag. Add the zest to the bag and season with salt and pepper.
  2. Add the pork chops and marinate at least 30 minutes and up to 2 hours.
  3. Grill at high temperature until cooked through, 8- 10 minutes.

Everyone grills steak, chicken and pork.  Grilled turkey tips are a nice change.  This marinade/glaze is great on pork and chicken too!

Horseradish Maple Glaze Turkey Tips

  • 2 Pounds Turkey Tenderloin cut into 1 inch pieces
  • 1½ cups maple syrup
  • ¼ cup prepared horseradish
  • 1 Tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 Tbsp ancho chile powder
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil
  1. Combine maple syrup, horseradish, mustard and chile powder. Mix well and season to taste with salt and pepper.
  2. Put the turkey tips in a ziplock bag. Add ½ of the glaze to the bag and add the olive oil. Seal bag and shake well. Marinate for at least 30 minutes and up to 4 hours.
  3. Heat a grill on high. Add the tips and brush with the remaining glaze as you cook the tips.
