Big Green Egg Maple Brined Pork Chops
Pork
I have to admit it (so please don’t tell anyone) that before this cook I had yet to brine anything before grilling it. I had read articles on both the pros and the the cons of brining, so I just assumed I could get great flavor in other ways… which I have. Recently however my daughter gave me a […]
Big Green Egg Stuffed Zucchini
