1 handful thyme, picked
salt & freshly ground black pepper
1 clove garlic
zest and juice of 1 lemon
1 tbsp olive oil
4 pork loin chops
1 recipe pesto ( or use ready made)
Using a pestle and mortar pound or very finely chop the thyme with 1 tsp salt. When pulped add the garlic and 1 tsp bloack pepper and pound again.Stir in the lemon juice and zest and the olive oil. Smear the mixture over the chops and leave for at least 10 minutes.
Place the chops on a very hot griddle or in a hot frying pan. Try to get each side nicely charred and golden but dont let them burn, turn the heat down if necessary. They take about 8 minutes to cook at a medium high heat.
Rest the chops for a few minutes, then spoon over some pesto. Serve with a mixed salad and mashed or jacket potatoes.
