HONEY GINGER DIJON GLAZED PORK CHOPS

HONEY GINGER DIJON GLAZED PORK CHOPS 6 pork loin chops, thick cut will work best FOR THE GLAZE 2 tbsp fresh grated ginger root 1/2 cup honey 1/2 tsp kosher salt 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper 2 tbsp dijon mustard Season the pork chops with salt and pepper and grill lightly for only a couple of minutes per side. (If pan searing the pork chops, cook them almost completely before draining off the excess oil and adding the glaze to the pan and turning the chops for a couple of minutes in the pan.) After turning once, begin brushing on the glaze, turning the pork chops every minute for about 5 -6 minutes or until they are completely cooked to about 160 degrees F on a meat thermometer inserted into the center. Let the pork chops rest for 5 -10 minutes before serving. TO MAKE THE GLAZE Simply simmer all the glaze ingredients together over medium low heat for about 10 minutes. Watch the glaze carefully, you want a gentle simmer or the honey on the glaze will foam up considerably and possibly boil over.
