GRILLED PORK CHOPS WITH ADOBO PASTE

Steps:

• Bring the chile soaking water to a boil: Bring 3 to 4 cups of water to a boil for soaking the chiles.
• Preheat your grill: For a gas grill: Light the entire grill on high heat, about 400°F at least 20 minutes before you plan to begin grilling, then reduce the temperature of one side to low. This way you can sear on the high heat side and finish cooking on the lower heat side.
• Grill the pork chops: When the grill is hot enough, place your pork chops over the high heat side of the grill. Grill and sear them for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, until they get nice grill marks. After searing, move your chops to the cooler side of your grill. Brush with additional adobo paste. Close the lid and cook 6 minutes longer, flipping halfway through cooking. You can test for doneness using an instant read thermometer. Your pork chops should be around 145°F for grilled pork chops .
