Ingredients

• 4 pieces bone-in pork chops
• 1 cup Riesling wine
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together Riesling wine, olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, honey, Dijon mustard, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.

Step 2

Place the pork chops in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the pork chops, ensuring they are fully coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap.

Step 3

Refrigerate the pork chops and marinate for at least 2 hours or up to 8 hours for the best flavor.

Step 4

Preheat the grill or a large skillet over medium heat. If using a skillet, lightly oil the surface to prevent sticking.

Step 5

Remove the pork chops from the marinade, letting any excess drip off. Discard the marinade.

Step 6

Cook the pork chops on the grill or skillet for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Adjust cooking time based on the thickness of the chops.

Step 7

Once cooked, remove the pork chops from heat and let them rest for 5 minutes to retain their juices.

Step 8

Serve the pork chops warm with your choice of side dishes, such as roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes.
