Equipment

  • Immersion Blender and Blender
  • Grill Pan
  • Meat Thermometer

Ingredients

  • 3 thin pork chops bone-in
  • 1 cup of fresh basil leaves
  • 3 cloves of garlic
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Sea salt and freshly cracked pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Make the marinade by blending the basil, garlic, lemon juice, and olive oil with an immersion blender or blender until smooth.
  • Place the pork chops into a baking dish, then smother with marinade, then toss to coat evenly. Place into the refrigerator for 30-60 minutes.  
  • Remove the pork 15 minutes before grilling. Season both sides of the pork with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste.
  • Heat a grill pan coated with cooking spray over medium-high heat. Once the pan is hot, add the pork and cook for 5-6 minutes, then flip and cook for 3-4 minutes or until the pork is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees with a meat thermometer.
  • Remove from the grill pan and let sit for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy.
