PORK CHOPS
If you ask your mom or grandmother, chances are, they have their best PORK CHOP recipe memorized. Well this week we have one that YOU will want to memorize! The buttermilk, the fresh herbs and hint of lemon will guarantee tender chops and a satisfied palate! The thickness of chop is your preference and this recipe works for both our center-cut pork chops (bone in, 3/4" thick, pictured above) and America's cut (boneless, 1 1/2" thick), however grilling times may vary. Always feel free to make a special order if you need a specific thickness.
