Kittencal's Basic Buttermilk Brine For Pork Chops
This is not for anyone on a salt restricted diet, i have left the garlic as optional if you are a garlic lover then add in --- this brine is enough for 4 large pork chops or 1 pork tenderloin, for a larger amount of pork chops prepare ingredients listed but in two separate bowls, do not double into one bowl --- kosher salt only for this, feel free to add in 1/2 to 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary.
Steps
In a large bowl combine the buttermilk with kosher salt and sugar.
Whisk until no granules remain.
Mix in lemon rind and garlic pieces.
Add in pork.
Toss to coat with the brine.
Refrigerate for 24 hours.
Remove the pork , then rinse well under cold water.
Proceed to cook as desired.
