Here is a nice, simple and quick one.
Pork Chops with Garlic-Lime sauce
Ingredients:
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
1 garlic clove, minced
1/4 teaspoon dried hot red-pepper flakes
1/3 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
6 (1/2-inch-thick) boneless pork chops
Directions:
Prepare a gas grill for direct-heat cooking over medium-high heat. Pat pork dry and season with salt and pepper. Oil grill rack, then grill pork chops, covered, turning over once, until just cooked through, 5 to 6 minutes total.
For the vinaigrette:
Whisk together lime juice, garlic, red-pepper flakes, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
Then add oil in a slow stream, whisking well, until it emulsifies.
Whisk in cilantro.
Pour the citrus-y vinaigrette over the hot grilled pork chops, and then serve the rest of the vinaigrette on the side.
Notes:
Pork Chops can be cooked in just about any style, doesn't have to be grilled. Also, if you have a bit of extra prep time in advance, you can brine the pork chops for added favour.
Also, this sauce is wonderful over a veggie side dish as well, or with another main course. Try it over asparagus, green beans, brush over ears of corn, etc.
