Peach Yogurt Curry Marinated Pork Chops

Yogurt is a versatile cooking ingredient. Just walk by the dairy case and there are all kinds and brands. It is proof that we eat a lot of it. I like making simple and quick meals for my family.

This marinated pork chops recipe actually stems from my almost expired peach yogurt in the fridge. I had one left, and I needed to use it. So, for that reason alone, I made a marinated with it.

Peach compliments pork very nicely and I figured I would add in some of my favorite spice. I purchase my curry powder from our local Asian market. I was once told by an Indian friend that there is a big difference in American-made curry powder. Personally, I have never purchased a brand-specific kind and get most of my spices from our Asian Market as they sell them in bulk and I have found them to be inexpensive.

There is nothing wrong with being frugal. Every little bit of savings help.

After hearing there may be a difference, I searched the web for more information. Here is what I dug up. Sure enough, there are and they all factor into the taste of your food.

My family enjoyed this meal and as a result, I even received a two-thumbs-up from my then six-year-old.

A quick marinade will come together in seconds when you start with a flavorful base like yogurt.  

If you aren’t familiar with cooking using yogurt, it is actually a commonly used marinade ingredient as well as a thickener in many Indian dishes.  This just seemed to be a great idea to throw together, and the result was amazing.

To add a bit more flavor to your marinated pork chops, you can seal this in a bag for up to 24 hours in the refrigerator before grilling.  

Allowing those flavors to seep into the meat will result in a much moister pork chop, as well as a richer flavor.  I like using my vacuum seal machine for marinades as it helps to really pack the flavor into meats.

While I grabbed these pork chops on sale with the bone in, you can easily use a boneless pork chop for this recipe.  Marinated pork chops are ideal for going alongside a nice bed of steamed rice and vegetables, or as a special upscale treat on the grill to replace classic burgers and hot dogs.

Even with a bit of flavor kick from the curry powder, this is super kid-friendly.  If you prefer more heat, you can add in some red pepper flakes, but this recipe really doesn’t need anything else to be amazing.
