Grilled Pork Chops with Basil Garlic Rub

Ingredients:

4 pork chops
2 garlic cloves, peeled
1 cup fresh basil leaves, packed
2 tbsp. fresh lemon juice
2 tbsp. olive oil
1 tsp. coarse salt
1/2 tsp. ground black pepper

Directions:

In food processor, chop garlic, basil, lemon juice, olive oil, salt and pepper.

Press mixture onto pork chops to make a wet rub. Spread both sides of the chops with the mixture. Let stand 15 to 30 minutes.

Prepare medium-hot fire in grill. Brush grate clean and oil the grate. Gill chops over direct heat, turning once to medium-rare doneness, 5 to 6 minutes on each side, until internal temperature reaches 145 degrees.

Allow meat to rest for 3 to 5 minutes.
