Grilled Pork Chops

Disney-MGM Studios Theme Park

Yes, I put that down right, this recipe was served at MGM, not Hollywood Studios. The cookbook is from  2000. :-)

Another great recipe worth making again. What really made it was the hot pepper relish and the hollandaise sauce. The sauce turned out perfect. I couldn't find a jar/can of hot pepper relish, so I made my own. I will give you the recipe, since it was awesome. I didn't grill the chops as the recipe calls for, since it was 25 degrees outside and snowy. I seared them and then baked them.
5 mickeys, so here is the recipe for you!

12 center-cut pork chops, 1/2 inch thick (2 per person)
2 cups hot pepper relish
2 cups hollandaise sauce
Salt, pepper

Season pork chops on both sides with salt and pepper. Charcoal-broil or barbecue until fully cooked. Top each chop with 2 T. hot pepper relish and 2 T. hollandaise sauce and serve immediately.

Hollandaise Sauce
1 3/4 c. butter, clarified, (from 2 lbs of whole butter)
6 egg yolks
2 t water
1T lemon juice, fresh
1/4 t Worchestershire sauce
Salt
Cayenne pepper

Melt butter in a double boiler or microwave. Do not allow butter to boil and do not stire while melting. Once melted, let butter stand 30 minutes while milk solids sttle to bottom and foam rise to top. To clarify butter, skim top and discard foam. Carefully remove yelow oil, leaving white milk solids on bottom of pan. Reserve only yellow oil part o butter. Keep warm but not hot.

Place egg yolks in a stainless steel bowl with water and lemon juice (I used a double boiler). Place bowl over a pan of hot, not boiling, water and whisk egg yolks until pale yellow and foamy. Remove eggs from heat any time they appear too hot, or they may scramble. Slowly add clarified butter to eggs, in a steady stream, whipping after each addition. Return eggs to hot water while whipping to help incorporate and thicken sauce. Add butter slowly,  or sauce could separate. Add more warm water to sauce if it becomes too thick. The final result should be like runny mayonnaise. When all butter has been incorporated, add Worcestershire sauce and season with salt and cayenne pepper. serve immediately. 

Hot pepper sauce

9 c. bell peppers
4 c. jalapeno peppers
6 c. onions
3 tbsp. canning salt
7 c. vinegar
7 c. sugar
 
I can't find the exact recipe, but this one is close. I think their might have been pickling spice in there too. 
I cut this recipe down - a lot.
 
 
Discard bell pepper seeds, chop peppers. (Leave hot pepper seeds in.) Chop onions. Put peppers and onions through a food processor. Add salt, vinager, and sugar and boil for at least 30 minutes, until most liquid is absorbed.Cool.
