This cook is for pork chops in a Greek marinade.  The marinade for the chops is good for about 2-3 pork chops.  Double the ingredients if you are doing 4-6.   The side is a light tomato feta cheese salad.  The amounts listed makes 2-3 servings.  We will start first with the salad.

  1. Slice the grape tomatoes in half and dice the red onion.
  2. Add the salt/pepper, basil and parsley to the bowl.  Add about a shot glass worth of the vinegar and just a bit of the olive oil.  Mix really well.

This is how the pork chops are done.

Ingredients:
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/8 cup white wine vinegar
  • 1/8 cup worcestershire sauce 
  • juice of 2 medium lemons
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1/2 tbsn dried oregano
  • salt and pepper
  • 3/4 - 1" thick Pork rib chops
Directions:
  1. Mix the ingredients for the marinade in a measuring cup and stir well.
  2. Put a little of the marinade of the bottom of a shallow bowl.  Put in chops and pour the rest of the marinade over the top.  Put aside in fridge and let sit.  Flip the pork every 15-20 minutes and leave in marinade at least an hour.
  3. Set your coals to one side of the grill.  Place the chops over medium heat (middle of grill)  for 6-8 minutes a side depending on your grill.  I flipped after 3 minutes four times.

  5. Plate and give the chops a fresh squeeze of lemon juice and a sprinkle of course salt.
