While I try to limit my pork consumption, sometimes it’s a wonderful way to get a little variety in a clean eating plan. Especially when it’s cooked right.
Not to long ago, we got a new grill, and I’ve been grilling ever since. I just can’t get enough of it!
I used to bake my pork in the oven and always came up with a bland, rubbery piece of something that was supposed to be meat. But the new grill changed all that. This was sooooo yummy!
Here’s what I did:
Clean Eating BBQ Rosemary Pork
(Makes 3 servings)
Ingredients
1 package with 3 pork chops in it.
6 Springs of fresh rosemary
2 tbsp. olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Directions
Step 1 – Unwrap the pork. I like to rinse mine off a bit, but that’s a personal choice. You don’t have to.
Step 2 – Prepare your rosemary. Simply run your fingers backwards over the tough stems to remove the leaf from the twig.
Step 3 – Put everything in a Ziploc bag and “moosh” it around to get the pork covered in oil and rosemary. Allow to sit in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
Step 4 – Toss those puppies on the grill for approximately 30 minutes. A meat thermometer should read 170 degrees F. when done.
Eat and Enjoy!
Munchkin Helpers:
If you have little ones, here’s how they can help (With close supervision, of course).
The little ones can help put the olive oil in the bowl, and they love to pick the rosemary leaves off the twigs.
