I used loin chops that were about 1/2 inch thick for this. The result was a great, juicy chop with wonderful flavor from the herbs. I'd never grilled chops before but this recipe has definitely changed my mind. Thanks for sharing. Made for ZWT 8.

I made this recipe with pork tenderloins, sliced. I let in the marinade in the fridge for at least 2 hours. I liked the taste of the lavenders and fresh herbs. It gave a yummy taste to the pork. Thanks Rita :) Made for ZWT8 for Diners, Winers and Chives

FABULOUS! You know my love of herbs and especially rosemary so this recipe jumped right out at me! I made this exactly as posted and was rewarded with a juicy pork chop that was full of wonderful herbal flavours. It has been raining here lately, so I had to cook them in a pan on the stove. The lavender was JUST right, it is hard to get it right, too much and it tastes of soap and not enough and you don't get the flavour, but your 1/2 teaspoon was right on the money Reets! Made for GB and ZWT6 and also the Magic of Herbs in the Photo's forum, merci encore! Karen :-) (Photos to be posted)

Oh My Gosh, I had expected this to be good but it really surpassed that. Even DH really enjoyed it and that alone is worth 10 stars! Very easy to make and grills quickly. While this recipe reads like a delight it's one of those rare things is more than the sum of it's parts. Try this one, you won't be sorry. Made for The Magic of Herbs event.
