Pork Brine

• Simple Pork Brine:
• 1 gallon Water
• 1/2 cup coarse kosher salt
• 1/2 cup white sugar
• 3 bay leaves
• 1 whole onion, cut-up
• Rub:
• 3 tablespoons garlic
• 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
• 3 tablespoon whole peppercorns

1. Try this with pork chops. Brine for eight hours, using the largest pork chops you can find (reduce for smaller pork chops). After brining, sprinkle the pork chops with the rub and let sit for one hour. Smoke or grill to an internal temperature of 130u0b0F to 135u0b0F.
2. Option 1:
3. Use a piece of flattened out tenderloin (or even chicken tenderloin). Since you're using a smaller piece of meat, brine for 2 hours. Bread and cook as you would a normal tenderloin -delicious.
4. Option 2:
5. Add 1/4 of Bourbon to your brine.
