My sister Robin sent me this recipe this week, and we just had to try it! Of course, add amounts (or subtract) to appeal to your particular tastes.

1 T vegetable oil
2 T Spanish paprika
1 t salt
2 T brown sugar
1 t each: mustard, garlic, onion and curry powders
1/2 t cayenne pepper
6 pork medallions

Combine oil and spices. Coat the chops, place them in a ziploc bag, and refrigerate at least eight hours or overnight.

Preheat grill on medium.

Remove the chops from the refrigerator and let sit at room temperature for at least a half hour.

Grill til cooked through.

I served the chops with sharp cheddar grits. Delish!http://media-files.gather.com/images/d176/d665/d744/d224/d96/f3/full.jpg

I have never heard of grits with dinner before.
☃ Shannon K. Wendt Apr 6, 2008, 6:25pm UTC
We don't eat them for breakfast.

Shannon honestly I had no glue what grits were until a few months ago. We don't have grits in Scandinavia:) Well, I was in the store and a lady asked me if i knew where the grits were, and I must have looked quite confused. She explained to me what they were, and I remembered seeing a package of grits by the oatmeal, so that's where I sent her. The lady returned a few minutes later to show me what grits were:)

I like grits :)

Chops look fabulous, Shannon!
I'll most definitely take the pork, as it sounds heavenly. I like the combo of ingredients. You can have the griits. If I haven't told you before, I'm letting you know now, the only thing we do with grits in this house is put them on the fire ant mounds so when the eat them and go drink water..........they pop.

Katie, I may just use that idea this year if our fire ants come back ;)

Thanks, all!

Looks good thanks for sharing..

Yum-O. I love grilled pork!
Risa G. Apr 6, 2008, 9:37pm UTC
I'd double the cayenne, but that's just me. It sounds so good. I love Spanish Paprika. Isn't it just wonderful? This sounds so good. Looks like good cooks run in your family.

WOW...that would be GOOD!

The pork.... YUM
The grits... not so much!
lol

I'm with you, Risa. But Matt wouldn't have been ;)

Thanks!

That pork looks INCREDIBLE. I don't know about the grits though...
☃ Shannon K. Wendt Apr 7, 2008, 9:52am UTC
The grits were perfect, taming the heat from the pork.

I didn't know you ate grits!
☃ Shannon K. Wendt Apr 7, 2008, 10:33am UTC
We love grits, Mog! Just not for breakfast. Ewww!!!
Christine " DogsRCool " K. Apr 7, 2008, 11:00am UTC
Looks fantastic and yummy too.
This sounds good. We aren't grits fans, but I'm wondering if Katie's mashed potatoes with the the Greek olives would clash with this or not. If not, I might do it tomorrow night.
Elaine S. Apr 7, 2008, 3:29pm UTC
They sound and look yummy Thanks
People from Michigan don't eat grits. Shannon isn't normal. heheh

How ya doin' Shannon?
☃ Shannon K. Wendt Apr 7, 2008, 7:12pm UTC
Sue, I would do the mashed and olives.

Deb, we aren't supposed to eat sweet potatoes or collared greens either. Pffft!

Thanks!
Sarah (I want points) Apr 8, 2008, 1:24pm UTC
Sounds really good, but I know my husband would NOT like the grits.
I did this last night with the mashed with Greek olives. I didn't have the Spanish paprika, but it was still great! We loved it! Thank you, Shannon!
Hey!!!! I'm a southerner who does not eat sweet potatoes or collard greens (mustards or turnips for that matter) and feeds grits to the fire ants. Come on now......
☃ Shannon K. Wendt Apr 9, 2008, 8:44pm UTC
Rock on, Sue B! That is awesome!

Too funny, Katie!
Robin G. Apr 9, 2008, 11:51pm UTC
I'd have done cheesy mashed instead. But then again, I didn't like this recipe. And I gave it to you!! Maybe I just need you to make it for me...then I'd like it better.
☃ Shannon K. Wendt Apr 10, 2008, 8:54am UTC
I think you would like it, Rob.
Lori Cee Apr 14, 2008, 10:53am UTC
