Smoky and Sweet Garlic Lime Marinade for Pork and Chicken

Summer flavors are here!  And I'm marinating and rubbing, hubby's thrillin' and grillin' his way into all kinds of yummy stuff.  My latest craze: PORK!

Grilled pork ribs, chops, pork steaks - all things pork and smoky! This summer I am in the mood for pork, but I wanted a twist on a Mexican marinade with something sweet and smoky - this is what I've come up with using pantry basics with a fully loaded spice cabinet and a few fresh limes that I needed to use up. To pair with this yummy entree, peach lime spritzer - a favorite summertime treat.

1/8 C. worchestershire sauce ($.10)
1/8 C. white wine ($.10)
2 T. Liquid smoke ($.10)
2 T. minced garlic ($.05)
1 T. basil ($.05)
2 tsp. black pepper ($.10)
3 T. brown sugar ($.05)
2 tsp. each smoked paprika and onion powder ($.10)
juice of 2 limes ($.20)
1 sliced lime ($.10)

Whisk together all ingredients except sliced lime.  Lay slices of lime on top of pork chops, top with marinade.  Allow to marinate for 2 hours to 2 days.  Grill pork chops and serve with rice, salad, and additional lime wedges and sliced avocado.

Cost of marinade: $1.05
