Grilled Rosemary Garlic Pork Chops

It is that time of the year again – barbecue grilling season! Spring has (finally) sprung and if you go for a walk in the evening, most likely, you well be surrounded by the smell of barbecues making their evening meals.

We love to barbecue at our house.  We do it all year long.  (every Saturday is my husband’s turn to cook and he loves to grill steak.)

During the summer, I sneak a few extra nights off from cooking by preparing something for him to grill. This is one of our favorite recipes.

This recipe for grilled rosemary, garlic pork chops is so easy to prepare.  I just make the marinade and let the chops sit in it for a few hours.

Pork has somewhat of a bland flavor on its own, but garlic and rosemary are both very strong flavors, so they creates a great flavor profile for the pork. Add in some good quality red wine to the marinade and you end up with a flavor that you just can’t beat.

Then, when hubby comes home, I just hand him this dish, some tongs (and a beer.)  20 minutes later, he comes back with our main course and I’ve been able to sit and read my new gardening magazine – Garden Gate. (affiliate link) If you have not read Garden Gate, you should have a look at it.  It is my all time favorite gardening magazine.  It is full of lovely photos, great tips and lots of landscape ideas.

The pork chops are moist and delicious.  Hard to believe it only takes a few minutes to make the marinade.  The resting time is the key. It infuses the pork with the delicious flavor and makes them so moist when cooked.

Serve with a baked potato or tossed salad and you have an easy and scrumptious week night meal.
