Rosemary and Garlic marinated Pork Chops

These marinated pork chops are simply amazing on the barbecue. Most people use gas but I prefer to use a charcoal barbecue since the flavour is a hundred times better.

Ingredients:

4 of the best quality pork chops you can find
4 sprigs of fresh rosemary (discard the stems and keep the leaves)
4 cloves of garlic sliced
8 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons of dijon mustard
Salt and pepper to taste

Roughly chop the rosemary and rub it into the pork chops with the garlic and season lightly with some pepper, set aside. Then in a bowl whisk the olive oil and mustard until well blended, after place the pork chops into a ziploc bag and pour in the oil and mustard mixture and squeeze the bag a few times until the pork is evenly coated with the marinade. Then place them into a fridge for 6 hours or better yet overnight. When the porkchops are done marinating heat up the grill to a medium high heat. Before grilling remove the sliced garlic from the pork so that it doesn't burn on the grill. When your done removing the garlic place the pork chops on the grill for 3-4 minutes on each side depending on the thickness, pay attention so the meat doesn't burn. When the pork chops are done remove them from the grill and salt them (the meat should be salted after grilling since the salt removes a lot of moisture from the meat) and place them on a rack and let the pork rest for 3-5 minutes, this ensures that the juices stay in the meat and not on the plate. Enjoy with your favourite side dishes and a nice glass of white wine.
