BBQ Pork Chops

“What’s for dinner?” my wife asks. I tell her that I fancy BBQ pork chops and her face drops. I know why, it’s because she is imagining pork that’s got little flavour, has been grilled for too long and is dry. Of course if I just go ahead and grill to my favourite recipe then when she tastes it, the smile soon returns to her face.

It’s not difficult to barbecue pork chops but it is easy to overdo them. Look in any traditional cook book and they’ll tell you that pork has to be well cooked and I guess in the case of sausages then this is fair comment. In this day and age the “well done” message is no longer appropriate and it has to be said that in some of the more progressive restaurants, pork will be served slightly pink.

That said, I'm not advocating serving pork rare or bloody like you would a steak, it's just a matter of saying that if the meat is juicy and still slightly pink then I don't think that it needs further cooking.

With this in mind the next is to turn your thoughts to the sauce – apple sauce is traditional and still great but my favourite is my Polish correspondent Sebastian’s honey mustard sauce with fresh dill.

If you’re worried about time, don’t. This sauce can be made in a matter of minutes (assuming that you’ve got the basic ingredients) so let’s get grilling.

Ingredients:-

• Pork Chops
• Salt and pepper
• Honey mustard sauce

Method:-

Season your pork chops with salt and pepper then brush on some of the honey mustard sauce. Depending on the thickness of the chops grill for between five and ten minutes on each side over a medium heat and when cooked allow the chops to rest for a three or four minuts before tucking in.
