Ingredients

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

2 teaspoons grated lemon rind

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

1 teaspoon chopped fresh oregano

3 garlic cloves, minced

4 (4-ounce) boneless pork chops

1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Cooking spray

 

Preparation

1. Combine first 5 ingredients in an 11 x 7–inch baking dish. Add pork, turning to coat. Let stand 30 minutes, turning pork occasionally.

2. Preheat broiler.

3. Remove pork from baking dish; discard marinade. Sprinkle pork evenly with salt and pepper. Place pork on a broiler pan coated with cooking spray. Broil 4 minutes on each side or until done.

 

Note:

While the pork marinates, prepare a warm bulgur salad. Combine 3 cups hot cooked bulgur and 5 ounces baby spinach; cover and let stand 15 minutes or until spinach wilts. Stir in 1 cup halved cherry tomatoes, 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup (1 ounce) crumbled feta cheese.

 

Serves 4
