Grilled Pork Chops with Orange Slices
Ingredients
- 4 x 25 mm 1 in thick loin pork chops, weighing
- 6 oz each
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 4 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp ground ginger
- 1 tsp dry mustard
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp cracked black peppercorns
- olive oil for greasing
for the garnish
- 12 thin slices of unpeeled orange
- watercress sprigs
Instructions
- Wipe each chop with absorbent paper and trim off the excess fat, leaving a narrow border only. Using a sharp knife, slash the fat at intervals to prevent the chops from curling up under the heat of the grill.
- in a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, olive oil, ground ginger, dry mustard, brown sugar, salt and cracked peppercorns. Rub the mixture well into both sides of each chop, lay the chops in a shallow dish, cover and leave to marinate for at least 4 hours.
- Heat the grill without the grid to high.
- Brush the grill grid with olive oil and place the chops on the grid. Grill, with the grid 7.5 cm (3 in) from the heat, for i minutes each side, or until cooked through turning the chops once and brushing occasionally with the marinade.
- Arrange the grilled chops on a heated serving dish and garnish with the orange slices and sprigs of watercress. Serve the chops immediately.
