Ingredients
- 11/2 tablespoons kosher salt
- 1 sprig basil fresh
- 6 basil fresh leaves, sliced
- 2 sprigs rosemary fresh, leaves stripped from stems and chopped
- 2 1/2 tablespoons thyme fresh, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic medium, roughly chopped
- 1 tablespoon black salt
- black pepper coarsely ground, to taste

Instructions
- Combine kosher salt, basil, rosemary, thyme, garlic, carbon salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Rub mixture over all pork chops until thoroughly covered on all sides.
- Clean grill grates prior to starting. Lightly oil grates. Preheat grill to medium heat. Once grill is heated, add pork chops and cook covered, over direct heat for 6 – 8 minutes, turning once. Temperature should be 145˚F at thickest portion. If your pork chops are thicker or thinner than 1”, adjust cook time accordingly.

- These pork chops are great served with freshly grilled summer veggies and a side salad.
- Enjoy!

Notes
When grilling pork chops, use a medium direct heat so that the inside of the pork chop cooks evenly with the outside resulting in a perfectly cooked tender, juicy pork chop.
Pork chops should be cooked to an internal temperature of 145˚F at the thickest point. An instant read meat thermometer is perfect to verify this. At this temperature, your pork chop may be slightly pink, but your juices should run clear.
