Recipe by Steven Raichlen, Francine Maroukian, and the Bon Appétit Test Kitchen
The inspiration for this recipe comes from poc chuc, a grilled pork dish from Mexico's Yucatán region. Brining the pork chops prevents the meat from drying out on the grill.
Ingredients
2 cups water
3 tablespoons coarse kosher salt
2 bay leaves
1 teaspoon whole allspice
1 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
4 large bone-in rib pork chops
1 11 3/4 x 8 1/2 x 1 1/4-inch disposable aluminum baking pan (to catch drips)
2 cups wood chips, soaked in water 1 hour
4 6 x 3 3/4 x 2-inch disposable mini aluminum loaf pans (for wood chips, if using gas grill)
1 large white onion with skin, quartered through core with some core still attached to each piece
1/2 cup fresh orange juice
1/2 cup fresh lime juice
1/4 cup coarsely chopped fresh cilantro plus 1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves
1/2 small green cabbage, thinly sliced
1 avocado, halved, pitted, peeled, sliced
1 bunch red radishes, trimmed, sliced
Warm corn tortillas
Instructions
