GRILLED MUSTARD PORK CHOPS WITH CARROT SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium. Combine the brown sugar, paprika and mustard powder in a small bowl. Season the pork chops with salt and pepper and rub all over with the spice mixture; set aside.
• Whisk the honey mustard, lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a large bowl; whisk in the olive oil. Add the carrots, parsley, chives and sunflower seeds and toss well. Refrigerate the carrot salad while you cook the pork chops.
• Lightly oil the grill grates. Grill the pork chops, covered, until marked, about 4 minutes per side. Uncover and cook until a thermometer inserted into the pork registers 145 degrees F, about 1 more minute. Serve with the carrot salad and honey mustard.

MUSTARD & HERB GRILLED PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Place the mustard, olive oil, vinegar, herbes de Provence and water in a small bowl. Whisk until emulsified, this may also be done in a blender or mini food processor, set aside.
• Trim any excess fat from the pork chops; place in a shallow bowl or pie plate and add marinade, coat thoroughly; let marinate for 15 to 20 minutes at room temperature, (for marinating longer, cover and refrigerate, remove from refrigerator 20 minutes before grilling.).
• Preheat griddle on high; when griddle is hot, allow excess marinade to drip off the chops and arrange the cops evenly spaced on the bottom grill plate. Close the grill. Grill for 6 to 8 minutes, until the pork chops have reached an internal temperature of 160f degrees; do not overcook or the pork may become dry. Remove to a warm platter and allow to rest for 5 minutes before serving. (When grilling in the closed position it is important that the pork chops all be the same thickness for best results.).
