Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Pork chops (bone-in or boneless)
- 2 sprigs Fresh rosemary
- 1 teaspoon Dried culinary lavender
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
In a small bowl, mix olive oil, minced garlic, lemon zest, salt, black pepper, and dried lavender. Remove the rosemary leaves from the sprigs and chop them finely, then mix them into the bowl as well.
Rinse and pat the pork chops dry with paper towels. Place the pork chops in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag.
Pour the marinade over the pork chops, making sure each piece is well coated. Cover the dish or seal the bag, and refrigerate to marinate for at least 30 minutes or up to 4 hours for best flavor.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Brush the grill grates with a little olive oil to prevent sticking.
Remove the pork chops from the marinade and let any excess marinade drip off. Place the pork chops on the hot grill.
Grill the pork chops for about 5-7 minutes per side, depending on thickness, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) when measured with a meat thermometer.
Remove the pork chops from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes. This allows the juices to reabsorb for a more tender and flavorful result.
Serve the grilled pork chops warm, garnished with additional rosemary sprigs if desired, and enjoy with your favorite side dishes.
