Pomegranate Pork with Vidalia Onions

Posted in: Dinner Ideas, Food Photos, Grill Ideas, Toddler Approved | 5 Comments

Hey Mikey, He likes it! or should I say.. THEY like it. It’s been awhile since I made a toddler AND husband approved meal. No complaints. No bargaining. No fighting. No leftovers!

What’s better yet? It’s a cinch to make! Here’s what I did. Pomegranate Pork with Vidalia Onions

4oz pomegranate juice
3 cloves minced garlic
1 tbsp honey (21g)
1 tsp dried tarragon
kosher salt and ground pepper.
4 thick slices of Vidalia onion.
4 thin cut boneless pork loin chops

Whisk together the pomegranate juice, garlic, honey, tarragon, large pinch of salt and ground pepper to make the marinade. Now, if you don’t have tarragon you can use any herb (thyme or basil would be good) you like but the tarragon went really well with the pomegranate juice.

Layer the pork chops and onion slices vertically in a quart sized baggie. Pour the marinade over and seal removing as much air as possible. Refrigerate for at least an hour.

Pomegranate Pork with Vidalia Onions - marinade 1

Heat an outdoor grill. Cook the chops and Vidalia slices 3-4 minutes a side. Longer if you have thick chops. My onion actually took longer then the pork!

We LOVE this recipe! We’ve had it as written, also made it into kebabs with other veggies, and our favorite has been to put it in the crockpot. The kids love this (in any form) and actually negotiated for who got the leftovers!

Hey Roni

This was really good, but since we just moved to an apartment without our grill I cooked these on the stove. I just let the meat and onions cook in all the marinade. It turned out awesome. I also made them replacing the onion with an apple which I like more. It was a big hit.

Thanks for the recipie!
