Aromatic pork chops

There are thousands of different ways to marinate and aromatise pork meat. This is a quick and reasonably cheap one. I love to accompany them with potato puree and green, steamed or boiled vegetables (ruby chard for instance or spinach).

What you need (for 2 people):

2 chops (approx 170 gr. each)
1 clove of garlic
1 piece of ginger
juice of ½ lemon
1 teaspoon honey
3 or 4 cloves
4 bay leaves
½ teaspoon dried basil
olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste

How you do it:

In a mortar, reduce to a creamy texture the marinade ingredients, in this order: cloves, pepper, ginger, garlic, lemon juice, honey, basil. Pour over the meat and leave aside for 4-12 hours. Bake the meat in a preheated oven (180-200 °C). Easy, isn’t it?
