Raymond van Rijk's Grilled pork chops Italian-style

Ingredients

• 4 100% NZ pork chops 1 cm thick
• Oil
• For Italian herb paste:
• 1 tsp fresh basil leaves, finely chopped
• ½ tsp fresh oregano, finely chopped
• 2 tsp fresh parsley, finely chopped
• Rind of one lemon
• 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
• 2 tsp sundried tomatoes, finely chopped (optional)
• 2 tbsp Parmesan cheese
• 4 tbsp olive oil
• Salt/pepper

Method:

1. Mix all the ingredients for the paste in a food processor, or with mortar and pestle. Cover the chops with the paste and marinate for 20 minutes in a plastic bag or covered dish.
2. Heat the barbeque to medium high heat, oil and place chops on the grill. Grill for 5 minutes. Turn chops over and grill another 5 minutes. Allow to rest off the heat covered loosely with aluminum foil for 2 minutes before serving.
3. Optional: To create a grill pattern on the steak, swivel 45 or 90 degrees after 2½ minutes, continue to cook for another 2½ minutes. Repeat for other side.
