Lemon garlic pork chops

So this is a marinade I came up with my own.  It is a take on a chicken lemon pepper marinade, but I featured garlic more than the pepper. 

Ingredients:
  • Pork rib chops, 1" thick.
  • juice of 2 lemons
  • garlic cloves, 2 chopped
  • onion chopped 1/4 cup
  • pepper
  • dried basil
Directions:
  1. Make the marinade by first juicing 2 lemons.  Then chop 1/4 of a white onion and 2 large cloves of garlic.  Add about 1 tablespoon pepper and basil.  Mix well.
  2. Add the marinade to the pork ribs and rotate every 15 minutes.  One hour is ideal for this.
  3. Set up your grill with 2 heat zones.
  4. Place your chops on the grill on direct to sear them for about a minute or two a side.
  5. Once seared put on indirect, use the lid.  They should go for about 4-5 minutes a side.  Then they are done.

  6. Plated with brown rice and a salad.  Salad consists of mixed greens, raspberries and lemon juice.

The marinade was a great flavor compliment to the pork.  Not over powering but very nice.  Give it a try.
