Ingredients
- 4 lbs. of boneless rib end pork chops - 1 inch thickness
For the Honey Mustard Sauce:
- 1/2 cup of yellow mustard
- 4 tbs. honey
- 4 cloves of garlic - grated
- 4 - 5 fresh basil leaves - chopped fine
- 1 tsp. salt
- 1 tsp. black pepper
- Dashes of freshly grated nutmeg
- 3 tbs. red wine vinegar
- Juice of 1/2 lemon
- 1/2 cup of cooking oil (I used Mazola Corn Oil)
For the Grilled Avocados:
- 2 avocados - sliced in half
- Cooking oil, for brushing
- 1 fresh lemon or lime
- Dashes of sea salt
- Fresh ground black pepper
For the Filling:
- 1 tomato - diced
- 1/2 English cucumber - diced
- 1/4 red onion - diced
- Dash of Fresh lemon juice
- 2 tbs. cooking oil
Instructions
- Combine all of the ingredients for the honey mustard sauce in a bowl and whisk.
- Make two separate batches of this sauce; one for the marinade and a second one to drizzle over the chops when they are done.
- Marinate the chops for up to 1 hour or overnight. Remove the chops from the marinade and discard the marinade the chops were in.
- Now we cook the pork chops. For pork chops that are about 1-inch thick, we grill them over medium flames for about 7 - 10 minutes- this is over direct heat. We turn the pork chops a total of about three times during the cooking process. Once the pork chops are done cooking, we let them rest for about 4 - 5 minutes. This allows the juices to set and seal. If using a thermometer, the pork chops are done when the register 145 degrees Fahrenheit in the thickest portion of the chop.
- Serve with a drizzle of the batch of honey mustard sauce.
For the Grilled Avocados:
- Combine all the ingredients for the filling and toss. Set aside.
- Slice avocados in half and remove the pit. Brush first with fresh lemon or lime juice and corn oil.
- Heat a cast iron griddle or pan. Gently place the avocados flesh-side down on the heated griddle or frying pan. The juice and oil ‘will’ sizzle, this is fine.
- Allow to grill for about two to four minutes to achieve grill marks.
- Remove from the grill and season to taste with sea salt and fresh ground pepper.
- Fill the avocado with the tomato mixture and serve.
Notes
The Honey Mustard Sauce also makes a delicious salad dressing and dip for fries!
