Grilled Pork Chops with Basil-Garlic Rub

This "wet" rub is bright and flavorful - not normally a combination I might associate with pork chops, but it was delicious. It would also be great on chicken or a whitefish. I served it with smashed red potatoes.

From World's Best Recipes

Ingredients:
~4-6 pork chops (use whatever cut you like - we had some really thin ones we had gotten on special, and they ended up being a little more like cutlets than chops)
~2 garlic cloves, peeled
~1 cup fresh basil leaves
~2 tbs lemon juice
~2 tbs extra-virgin olive oil
~1 tsp salt
~1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper

1. Using a food processor, mince garlic. Add basil and process until chopped.
2. Add lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper, and process until combined.
3. Spread both sides of chops with basil mixture and let stand at least 15-30 minutes. (I marinated mine in the fridge for about 3 hours)
4. Heat grill pan over medium/medium-high depending on thickness of chops. Grill for a few minutes per side or until internal temperature reaches 145 degrees. Let rest for 3-5 minutes.
