Grilled Pork Chops and Onions

Grilled pork chops and onions marinated in Mojo La Lechonera are moist and tender with a zesty, smoky-spicy flavor.

6 (3/4 to 1 inch thick) pork chops, trimmed
1 large onion, peeled and thickly sliced
1 cup of La Lechonera Mojo Criollo plus more for basting (to taste)

Preparation
In a self-sealing bag, combine the chops, onion and 1 cup of Mojo La Lechonera . Seal and let marinate in refrigerator for as little as 15 minutes or up to overnight. The longer it marinates the more Mojo flavor will penetrate.

Prepare a medium-hot fire in grill. Remove chops and onion from marinade, shaking off excess liquid. Discard marinade.

Place chops and onion on grill. Cook, turning occasionally and basting with additional Mojo for about 15-20 minutes. Chops are done when they are browned on both sides and reach 160° F. The onion should be nicely browned.
