Recipe: Broiled Pork Chops with Parsley and Garlic

BROILED PORK CHOPS WITH PARSLEY AND GARLIC

1 cup chopped fresh parsley leaves
3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
2 tablespoons grated lemon rind
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 thick pork loin chops, trimmed of fat
Hot cooked jasmine rice (for serving)

In a bowl, mix together the parsley, garlic, lemon rind, mustard, salt and pepper. Make a pocket in the thick side of each chop and add about 1 tablespoon of the mixture. Cover with the remaining mixture and refrigerate the chops and mixture for at least a half a day.

WHEN READY TO COOK:
Turn on the broiler. Broil the chops several inches from the element, turning often, for 10 minutes or until the chops are nearly cooked. Near end of cooking, spread remaining mixture on the cooked chops and cook for one half a minute.

Serve with steamed Jasmine rice.
