Very easy & tasty! I used boneless pork chops. You may think that it’s too much basil, but it really isn’t once the pork is grilled. I used a mini electric chopper for the garlic & basil, put that in a bowl & then added/mixed in the oil & fresh lemon juice. Really good flavor & I would def make it again!
Wonderful flavor!
Great, easy and very tasty!
These turned out wonderfully. The basil and garlic flavor was great and the pork chops were tender. Not to mention easy – I mixed up the rub with my hand blender. They were probably the best I’ve ever made.
