Photogenic Grilled Pork Chops

If there is one thing I have learned about photography during my blogging experience it is that meat dishes do not photograph well. Veggies are bright and colorful and have great texture. Meat usually comes out looking like a big lump of darkness. Until now. Enter the grilled pork chop.

Oh yeah. Beautiful. And they were that good. Juicy and flavorful and SO SIMPLE. And a welcome change from ground beef and chicken. They even made me do the food dance.

Grilled Pork Chops
2 thin center cut pork chops*
1 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
2 cloves of minced garlic
2 pinches of salt
1 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary**

Combine olive oil, vinegar, garlic, salt and rosemary in a bowl. Pour over pork chops and marinate for about one or two hours. Put pork chops on high heat grill (400 degrees) for about 3 minutes on each side. Remove from direct heat and let sit for about 3-5 minutes. Serve.

*Pork chops with the bone are MUCH jucier than boneless. If you use thick cut make sure to adjust cooking time to about 20 minutes. ** The rosemary was amazing but if you don't have it or don't like it replace with either basil or oregano.
