This pork brine adds a subtle flavor to meat without being too salty. I use this brine for all pork cuts that I grill. The pork cooks up tender, moist, and delicious every time.

Easy Baked Pork Chops with Stuffing
I got this from my mother years ago; it was one of my first 'on my own' dinners some 30 years ago.
Korean Barbecued Rack of Lamb
This Korean rack of lamb recipe show's how lamb's subtly sweet gaminess works perfectly with the funky goodness of gochujang chile paste. The salt and sugar content of the simple marinade acts as a brine for the lamb, producing a juicy interior when soaked overnight. In the final stage, the marinade is reduced, doubling as a sauce. I love using the rack for this since it's more tender, easier to work with than the leg, and a little more user-friendly than chops.
Artichoke & Spinach Dip, Restaurant Style
This spinach artichoke dip tastes similar to those served at chain restaurants in our area. This one uses refrigerated Alfredo sauce as its base to give it a wonderful creamy texture.
