Lemon-Dijon Pork Chops

This recipe I found on the Paleo Girls website. It is supposed to be done with pork tenderloins but I only had pork chops and they still tasted amazing.
I never really knew how to do pork other than roasting it and doing a yummy apple sauce, which dad always did so I have no idea how it is done..

INGREDIENTS
  • 1 Lemon (zest grated)
  • 4 freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • Good Olive Oil
  • 6 cloves Garlic
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons finely chopped Rosemary leaves
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped Thyme leaves
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon Mustard
  • 3 pork tenderloins (I used 5 pork chops)
  • Ground Pepper and Sea Salt, to taste

METHOD
  • Combine lemon zest, lemon juice, 1/2 cup olive oil, garlic, rosemary, thyme, mustard and salt into a strong resealeable plastic bag (or a marinating container if you have one)
  • Add pork and make sure it is all coated with marinade
  • Seal bag and put in fridge for at least 3 hours preferably over night (I just had mine in for 3hrs and it was still great!)
  • Preheat oven to 204C/400F
  • Remove pork from marinade, discard marinade but leave herbs on pork
  • Sprinkle pork with ground pepper
  • Heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil in a large oven proof pan over medium-high heat
  • Cook pork chops on all sides until golden brown (about 2mins each side)
  • Place pan in the oven for 10-15mins (mine took 20mins)
  • Remove and cut in diagonal slices and serve with salad.

Delicious! Got the thumbs up from the fiance too so success! Yay!

Sorry I didn't get photos of this one but will remember to from now on!
