Costine al Limone

Open the barbecue season with a splash. These juicy pork chops have wonderful citrus flavours.

Ingredients (4 servings)
4 tablespoon(s) grainy mustard
1 unwaxed lemon, grated zest and juice
5 tablespoon(s) olive oil
2 handful garlic, crushed
2 unwaxed lemons
1.5 kg pork cutlets (about 8 pieces)
black pepper
sea salt

Method

  • Mix mustard, lemon zest and juice from the first lemon, olive oil and garlic in a big bowl. 
  • Add the pork cutlets to the bowl, mix and leave to marinade for an hour.
  • After an hour, drain the cutlets and set marinade aside.
  • Cut the two remaining lemons in 2cm thick slices.
  • Put the cutlets on the barbecue and grill on medium heat for about 40 minutes on all sides, basting every now and then with more of the marinade.
  • Char the lemon slices on the barbecue for about 10 minutes, turn once.
  • When done, season the cutlets with salt and pepper, rest for a few minutes and serve garnished with the charred lemon slices.
