2 cloves garlic, minced, see note 2
1 tablespoon dried oregano
S&P to taste
60 ml (¼ cups) Water, for consistency, adjust per preferences

Pork Chops

500 g (1 lb) pork chops, approx.5 boneless, see note 3
1 tablespoon olive oil, extra for grilling
2 tablespoon cornflour
2 tablespoon mustard seeds, optional
Salt and pepper, to taste

Sides (meal prep)

500 g (1 lb) potatoes, approx.5, washed + cooked (see note 4)
1 tablespoon butter
salt and pepper , to taste
500 g (1 lb) green sweet peas, cooked as desired (see note 5)

Instructions

Prepare Potatoes (optional)

If wanting to cook 500 g (1 lb) potatoes on the BBQ. Prepare now by cutting slots into the potato (approx. 4-5) almost to the bottom. Wrap in aluminium foil with 1 tbsp butter, salt and pepper . Cover. Bake on the BBQ for 45 minutes or until soft with a skewer

Prepare Ingredients

Pat 500 g (1 lb) pork chops dry and toss in a large bowl with 2 tbsp cornflour, 2 tbsp mustard seeds, Salt and pepper.. Let sit for 30 minutes to tenderize.
Mince: 2 cloves garlic
In a separate bowl or BBQ-safe pan, whisk 30 g (2 tablespoon) Dijon mustard, 30 g (2 tablespoon) wholegrain mustard, 60 ml (¼ cups) lemon juice, 1 tbsp dried oregano, S&P to taste, 60 ml (¼ cups) Water.

Cook

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (200°C / 400°F). Place the BBQ-safe pan with the marinade on one side and brush grates with 1 tbsp olive oil. Grill pork chops for 2–3 minutes per side until charred.
Add pork chops to the bubbling lemon mustard sauce and simmer for 5 minutes, turning occasionally, until the sauce thickens and pork reaches 63°C (145°F).
Rest pork chops for 5 minutes. Drizzle with lemon mustard sauce or serve it on the side.
If meal prepping, add 500 g (1 lb) green sweet peas to the container (these will cook when you heat it up)

Notes

Note 1 - Mustard

Using a mix of Dijon and Wholegrain mustard creates a rich, well-rounded flavor. If Wholegrain isn’t available, simply use more Dijon. American mustard can work in a pinch, but it won’t deliver the same depth.

Note 2 - Garlic

I recommend freshly minced garlic for maximum flavour.

Note 3 - Pork Chops

Boneless is recommended as they cook quicker and you don't have to deal with the bone. You can use bone-in or different cuts, just beware that the grilling time may be different.

Note 4 - Potatoes

If wanting to cook on BBQ, cut slots into the potato (approx. 4-5) almost to the bottom. Place in aluminium foil with butter, salt and pepper. Cover. Bake on the BBQ for 45 minutes or until soft with a skewer

Note 5 - Peas

I put frozen peas straight into the meal prep containers as these cook when reheating the food.

Storing

Store cooked pork chops in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3–4 days.

Reheating

Reheat pork chops in the oven at 180°C (350°F) for about 10 minutes or in a covered skillet on low heat to retain moisture.

If using a microwave, make sure the sauce is covering the pork chop to help prevent the meat from drying out. Reheat on 1 minute intervals, flipping the chop over each time (should take 3-4 minutes).

Freezing

Freeze marinated raw pork chops in a freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months. If cooked, allow them to cool completely, then wrap tightly in plastic wrap or foil before placing in an airtight container.
