GRILLED PORK CHOPS WITH HERBED YOGURT MARINADE

SERVES 4

I love to grill thick-cut pork chops. The idea for this marinade came from a sandwich spread I had made earlier in the week. It is quick, easy and very good. The garlic may be roasted up to one day in advance.

INGREDIENTS

4 thick-cut bone-in pork loin chops

1 head roasted garlic

1/2 cup plain low-fat yogurt

2 teaspoons Dijon mustard

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1/2 teaspoon rubbed sage

1 teaspoon dried rosemary leaves

2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice

2 tablespoons olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

Place the chops in a shallow dish in one layer. In a small bowl, mash the roasted garlic into a paste. Add the remaining ingredients and mix well to combine. Pour over the chops and rub into both sides. Let stand about 30 minutes, turning a couple times to ensure an even marinade.

Meanwhile, prepare the grill. Add the chops and grill over medium heat until done, about 10 minutes per side for medium (155° F internal temperature), depending on the grill. Serve immediately.

Note: Chops may also be prepared in a grill pan, skillet, or under the broiler.
