1 Video | Photo: Spice-Rubbed Grill Pork Chops Recipe
Ingredients
- Olive oil, for brushing grill grates
Rub:
- Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon allspice
- 4 (8-ounce) boneless center-cut loin pork chops
Sauce:
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 shallot, minced
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup pomegranate juice
- 1/4 cup low-sodium beef stock
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon raspberry preserves
- Fresh pomegranate seeds, for garnish (optional)
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Directions
Rice, for serving
Heat a grill to medium-high heat and brush the grill grates with olive oil.
Whisk together 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, 1 teaspoon pepper, cumin and allspice in a small bowl. Sprinkle the pork chops with the rub. Grill the pork chops on each side 6 to 7 minutes, for a total of 12 to 14 minutes. Remove the chops to a plate and tent with foil.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter. Once the butter starts to foam, add the shallot and saute until tender. Add the flour and stir until pasty. Stir in the pomegranate juice, beef stock, red wine vinegar and raspberry preserves. Bring to a simmer while stirring. The sauce will thicken when it begins to simmer. Taste and then season with salt and pepper.
Serve the pork chops over the rice with sauce ladled over top. Garnish with fresh pomegranate seeds.

My husband loves it! He likes food with a bit of a sour kick - I think it's a German thing!
My modifications:
I didn't have shallots so I used 1/2 an onion. The second time I made it I also added a little more raspberry preserve and butter and used a little less red wine vinegar.

Where did they find raspberry preserves in the Memphis metro area? I have seen them several times because I used to live 2 miles from them.
I hate to review without all the original ingredients, but I have to admit hat I had to substitute products but the rest of the recipe my husband loved!
To me, the recipe is a hit and I might go online and order the raspberry preserves for the next dinner!

So delicious! I'm not one to change recipes the first time - I trust the experts. However, I didn't have a shallot or raspberry preserves, so instead used onion and apricot preserves and it was still amazingly good. I'm not even a big fan of cumin, but it works so well with pork and especially well here with the sweet/tartness of the pomegranate.
