Pork Chops on Green Beans

Ingredients

• 8x 1/2-inch thick 100% NZ __pork chops
• 1/2 cup fresh parsley, chopped
• 2x cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped
• 1 tbsp orange peel, grated
• 1 tbsp lemon peel, grated
• 1 tsp sugar
• 1/2 tsp dry oregano
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 400g green beans, topped and tailed, blanched and quickly pan fried in 1 tbsp of butter

These pork chops are marinated in a flavourful citrus-herb marinade. Be sure to grill them hot and fast. If you have thicker chops, grill them just as hot, but for a little longer.

Method

Step 1

• Mix together the parsley, garlic, oil, rosemary, orange and lemon peel, sugar, oregano, salt and pepper.
• Spread the mixture over each chop, cover and refrigerate overnight.

Step 2

• Preheat a grill/electric fry pan.
• Remove as much of the marinade from the chops as you can by patting with a paper towel.

Step 3

• Grill the chops for 3 minutes on either side and rest for 3 minutes.
• Serve on green beans, cooked as directed.
