Grilled Tarragon Pork Chops


Here's an easy one!
Ingredients:
pork chops
potatoes
corn or vegetable of choice
salt and pepper to taste
tarragon
soy sauce
butter
olive oil
Marinate chops in soy sauce, olive oil(any vegetable oil will do but olive is best),tarragon and pepper (use a little salt if you don't have soy sauce) for up to one hour. Parboil cubed potatoes on camp stove for approx. 10 minutes or until just tender but not soft. We used left over corn from night before. Cut off cob and place in tin foil with salt, pepper and butter. When potatoes are done also put in foil with butter and season as desired. Grill all over camp fire or camp grill. Chops, depending on size, will take 20 to 30 minutes. If you don't have any of these ingredients, improvise. That's the fun of camping. You could substitute parsley, rosemary or thyme for tarragon or just use salt and pepper. We save the little packets from eating out like catsup, mustard or soy sauce and keep them with our camping stuff. Butter and foil are a must in the camping supplies. Butter adds so much flavor when other ingredients are scarce. You can hike it off later! We also do a lighter (olive oil instead of butter) version of this recipe on our BBQ at home. We try many of our meals at home first. The BBQ grill is a great place to experiment! Once again, remember to keep a GREEN site. Don't burn any plastics on the campfire.
