A zesty, Italian-American style dish with pork chops simmered in a rich tomato sauce with garlic, herbs, and sometimes peppers. Great served over pasta or polenta for a bold-flavored meal.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup italian-style salad dressing 1/2 cup worcestershire sauce 1/2 cup applesauce
  • 1/4 cup hot pepper sauce 1 lime, juiced
  • 6 bone-in pork chops

Directions

  1. Mix together the Italian dressing, Worcestershire sauce, applesauce, hot pepper sauce, and lime juice in a bowl. Pour the marinade over the pork chops, and refrigerate in marinade for 6 hours or overnight.
  2. Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat, and lightly oil the grate.
  3. Remove the chops from the marinade, and pour marinade into a saucepan. Bring the marinade to a boil over medium heat, and allow to boil for about 1 minute. Place the pork chops onto the preheated grill, and grill until well browned and no longer pink in the middle, about 6 minutes per side, basting the chops occasionally with the marinade. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). Allow the marinade baste to cook completely onto the chops.
