Tangy Chops with Honey Curry Sauce

Tonight I made the marinade for pork chops. It smells amazing! The chops will sit overnight in a bag and be the main course tomorrow night. This marinade can be made ahead of time and after it cools you can add the chops to a freezer bag and freeze. On serving day, thaw completely and broil.

Curry Powder: is basically a blend of different spices and is used in a wide variety of savory dishes throughout India and Southeast Asia.

Tangy Chops with Honey Curry Sauce
6 pork loin chops
3 slices bacon, diced
1 c. onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 c. soy sauce
1/3 c. lemon juice
2 T. honey
1 T. curry powder
2 t. chili powder
1/4 t. salt

1. Cook the bacon in a skillet until lightly browned. Add the onion and garlic and saute' until tender. Stir in soy sauce, lemon juice, honey, curry powder, chili powder, and salt. Simmer 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat. Allow the sauce to stand for 1 hour so the flavors can blend together. Place the pork chops in a freezer bag, add the sauce. Freeze them at this point or let them marinade overnight. 
2. Place the pork chops on a broiling pan and place in the oven 4' from heat. Broil 12-15 minutes; flip chops and broil 10-15 minutes more. Brush the chops frequently with marinade. Or if it's not freezing outside like it is here in Minnesota you can grill them!

This recipe is from one of my favorite recipe books called Don't Panic more Dinner's in the Freezer. I think it's pretty handy to have a few extra meals in the freezer for unexpected guests! 

How did they turn out?
Excellent! I might have broiled mine a little too long because they were a bit dry, but the flavor was still there. My husband didn't even use any sauce (ketchup, heinz and honey)! That tells me they were a winner. The curry and chili power gave it a little kick but still sweet with the honey. I'd do it again.
