Loukaniko Sausage

Dear Shareholders:

Our availability of pork is pretty limited right now. A combination of fewer pigs because of some farrowing issues this winter, plus higher demand of summer. We are featuring pork chops in shares this month, but you will see relatively less pork this month that usual. We should be back closer to normal within a month or two.

We’re excited to be featuring a new lamb sausage this month. This Greek style sausage has orange zest and herbs from our friends at Foggy Hill Farm in Jaffrey.

Ingredients

  • pork chops

    Signature Sweet Rub

    • ¼ cup dark brown sugar
    • 1 Tablespoon coarse kosher salt
    • 2 teaspoons cracked black pepper
    • 2 teaspoons smoked paprike
    • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
    • 2 teaspoons onion powder
    • 1 teaspoon ground mustard
    • ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper

    Instructions

    • Make the rub. Combine all ingredients for the rub in a small bowl and set aside.
    • Preheat. Allow the grill to preheat to medium-high heat (around 400 degrees F) for two-zone cooking (one direct heat side and one indirect heat side).
    • Season. Season the pork chops with Sweet Rub on all sides and press the rub into the meat.
    • Sear. Place the chops on the hottest part of the grill and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side.
    • Finish grilling. Move the chops to the indirect heat side of the grill and continue cooking for an additional 5-6 minutes per side until the internal temperature of the pork chops reaches 145 degrees F.
    • Rest and serve. Remove the chops from the grill and allow them to rest for 5-6 minutes before slicing.
