Mustard-Grilled Pork Chops

Mustard-Grilled Pork Chops

4 boneless pork chops, 3/4-inch thick

1-1/2 cups diced plum tomatoes

8 sun-dried tomatoes in oil, drained, chopped

1/4 cup chopped fresh basil

1/4 teaspoon cayenne

2 tablespoons Dijon-style mustard

1 tablespoon honey

1 teaspoon minced garlic

Have a gas grill heating or prepare a bed of ash-covered coals. Meanwhile, combine the diced plum tomatoes in a medium bowl with the sun-dried tomatoes, chopped basil and cayenne. Set aside.

In a small bowl, combine mustard, honey and garlic. Place chops on a medium-hot grill grid and cook 3 minutes. Brush the mustard mix on the top, turn chops and brush on more mustard mixture. Grill 3 minutes, turn chops and brush with more mustard mix. Cook a couple minutes more, turning and brushing until chops are done, but still moist. Serve with the two-tomato mixture.
