Honey Mustard Pork

I have been wanting to try the recipes that call for pork chops in the book. Yesterday, I happen to find some really nice cuts so I decided to make them for dinner last night. The recipe calls for very simple ingredients: honey, dijon mustard, pepper and apple cider vinegar. I happen to like the Trader Joes brand because of its tartness. It took me 10 minutes to get the marinade done. Put the meat in a ziploc bag and kept it in the ref for about 5 hrs before dinner time.

I paired the meal with a simple salad of hearts of romaine lettuce and a drizzle of store bought champagne dressing.

Although the meat should have been broiled, I decided to use my griddle for faster cooking time and also extract any extra fat that I didn't want.

It was done to perfection in about 10 minutes.

There was no excess fat from the pork and I got caramelization from the marinade. Lovely.

This dish had no dominant flavors. The combination of the ingredients made for subtle hints of taste. Somewhat leaving just enough taste in your mouth to want to get more of it from your next bite.

It was substantial, healthy and a light dinner meal.

A nice cuppa tea at the end tied it all together for me.
