Basil Garlic Grilled Pork Chops

I made a couple of small changes, but mainly stuck ot the basic recipe. I was using boneless loin chops with very little fat, so I added some olive oil to the marinade and like some of the other reviewers, mixed all of the marinade ingredients together and put the chops and the marinade in a freezer bag in the fridge for about 2-3 hours. And like at least one other reviewer, I cooked over indirect heat. I put my charcoal on one side of the grill and the chops on the other, with the vent lid over the food, and a smoker box on the fire side. (I do this with almost everything on the grill that isn't cooked to temp.)The result was a first ballot keeper of a recipe. Smothered it in baby bello mushrooms, and slivered onions sautéed in butter and fresh ground pepper, and paired it with sautéed broccoli and roasted seasoned potato wedges.This hit all the right notes for me -- easy, not terribly expensive, and amazing.

Finally had a chance to make this recipe. Used fresh pork chops and marinated overnight; using 1 extra clove of garlic (5 total) using up what I had on hand. Cooked the chops indoors with my grill pan since it is raining out side and I think it kept the meat juicier. Everyone loved it; very flavorful, will definitely make this again.

Wow. Simple recipe that wow’d the crowd! I marinated it in 30 min too and it turned out amazing. I brined the chops 30 min before putting the life, garlic, basil on to marinate. I think the brine really is essential.

That was SO delicious! I was worried because I’ve never grilled before but it was so easy and my whole family loved it! Definitely will make this again!
