Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 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!
