Grilled Pork Tenderloin with Pineapple and Tangy Side Dish

Are you looking for some healthy grilled pork chops? Then today’s post is completely dedicated to a recipe which is perfect for summer and its good for the people who are health freaks and look for such recipes which have calories lower than 250. Nevertheless, recently I tried this amazing recipe shared by one of my friend, this easy grilled pork chops  have a perfect combination of flavors and essence. The coffee and molasses used as marinade gives it an amazing taste and lemon juice just give that zing to this recipe which is absolutely delightful.

For a perfect grilled pork recipe, the most important procedure is its marinade. There are plenty of marinade recipes which you can go for. Choose a marinade recipe that sounds upright and then let your meat marinate for several hours or overnight in the refrigerator. Let the marinade get absorbed by the meat. There is a common myth that marinade helps in tendering the meat, which is not completely true. The only marinate which actually helps in breaking the fiber of meat are the one which are taken from an animal i.e. buttermilk or yogurt! All the other are alkaline base and acidic base which helps in distributing the flavors evenly in the meat. Under acidic base you have lemon, pineapple, vinegar and all sour ingredients that you use for marinade. In alkaline base you use papaya; papaya actually breaks the molecules and fiber of the meat completely which makes meat soggy in taste. So if you are grilling meat where you need nice crisp texture, avoid using papaya marinade for the grilling.
