thymeRecipe
Pour 4 tbsp honey in a bowl.
This will be the basis of your marinade.
I like how honey literally sticks to the meat.
Now things tend to burn easy with honey in the marinade, but you'll be perfectly safe when you use pork chops that require very little cooking time.
Add 1 tbsp orange juice (you can also use lemon juice), 1 tbsp oil, 1/4 tsp onion powder, 1/8 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp coarse mustard, 1/2 tsp salt and a small pinch of cayenne.
Add as much thyme as you like. Just run your fingers down the stem from top to bottom to strip it.
Now whisk until you a have beautiful amber-colored syrup.
Cover the pork chops with a generous amount of marinade and sprinkle a little black pepper on top.
Let the flavors incorporate for roughly 5 minutes.
Just enough time to heat up the grill and set the table.
Get your grill as hot as you can, no need to oil it because there's oil in the marinade. Now place the meat on top. It should really sizzle.
Flip over the pork chops after a minute or two and cook the other side for an additional 2 minutes.
Don't overcook them! Nothing worse than overcooked pork
chops.
The juices that ooze out are infused with sweet honey and thyme, creating the most perfect gravy.
It doesn't need anything else.
Serve with a few thyme sprigs on top and you're done.
