Lemon Basil Pork Chops

I grew basil in my garden last summer and couldn't get enough! I made so many things with it, and this is one of my favorites! Oh, there is nothing quite like the aroma of fresh basil...

Lemon Basil Pork Chop Marinade
3 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
1.5 cup fresh basil (washed and chopped)
2 Tbs lemon juice
2 Tbs olive oil
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper

Mix together all ingredients. Place in ziplock bag with pork chops. Allow to marinate at least 30 minutes, but no more than 3 hours.

For best flavor, grill pork chops immediately after removing from the marinade.

Pairs well with fresh green beans (check out my favorite here), wild rice, or a spinach salad,
