Barbecued Pork Chops with Rosemary Lemon Marinade
TOTAL TIME: Prep: 10 min. + marinating Grill: 15 min.
YIELD: 4 servings.
When it comes to cooking, I'm not "chicken" about experimenting—I discovered this mouthwatering marinade in a poultry cookbook and decided to try it with pork chops. My family's glad—it's become a favorite! Don't be bashful about basting a pork roast or ribs with the marinade, either...I did, and I discovered two more family-favorite taste treats.—Peggy Gwillim, Strasbourg, Saskatchewan
