Teriyaki Pork Chops

Teriyaki Pork Chops

Makes 4 servings

* When broiling pork in the oven, place a foil-lined baking sheet on the rack below to catch the juices dripping from the chops.

• 1 ½ cups teriyaki marinade (see recipe below)
• 4 pork chops (about 1 ½ pounds total)
  

1. Pour the teriyaki marinade into a shallow dish and place pork chops on top. Marinate in the refrigerator for about 1 ½ hours.
2. Preheat the broiler or prepare the grill. Take the chops out of the marinade and place them on the top rack of oven or on the grill. Cook for about 5-8 minutes on each side, or to the desired doneness. (When cooked through, the meat will not be pink in the middle.)

• ¼ cup packed brown sugar
• 1 ½ tbsp extra virgin olive oil
• 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger
• ¼ tsp pepper

And we can't forget today's dessert, chocolate milkshake.
