Step by Step guide

Step 1

Lightly toast the juniper berries in a small skillet. Transfer the toasted berries to a food processor, add the rice vinegar, 120 ml of salt, sugar, parsley, marjoram, and 120 ml of water. Blend until smooth and pour the marinade into a large dish. Add the pork chops, cover with a lid, and refrigerate for 12 hours.

Step 2

Meanwhile, marinate the onions. In a bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of salt, olive oil, and vinegar. Add the onions, cover with plastic wrap, and marinate for 2 hours.

Step 3

Remove the pork chops from the marinade and let them come to room temperature. Preheat the grill or grill pan. Grill the chops for 40-45 minutes, turning and basting with the marinade every 5 minutes. Once cooked, place the chops on a work surface and let them cool slightly.

Step 4

Meanwhile, place the marinated onions on a sheet of foil. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of the vinegar dressing, cover with foil. Place the foil packet on the grill and cook for 8-10 minutes. Transfer the cooked onions to a plate, drizzle with the remaining dressing, and season with pepper. Slice the pork chops, arrange them on a platter, and serve with the onions. Enjoy your meal!
