This is not for anyone on a salt restricted diet, I have left the garlic as optional if you are a garlic lover then add in - this brine is enough for 4 large pork chops or 1 pork tenderloin, for a larger amount of pork chops prepare ingredients listed but in two separate bowls, do not double into one bowl - kosher salt only for this, feel free to add in 1/2 to 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary. Ingredients:
2 cups low-fat buttermilk |
2 tablespoons kosher salt |
2 tablespoons sugar |
1 tablespoon grated lemon rind |
4 large fresh garlic cloves, sliced into four pieces (optional) |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl combine the buttermilk with kosher salt and sugar; whisk until no granules remain (this should take a few minutes).
2. Mix in lemon rind and garlic pieces.
3. Add in pork; toss to coat with the brine.
4. Refrigerate for 24 hours.
5. Remove the pork, then rinse well under cold water.
6. Proceed to cook as desired.
