Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup olive or vegetable oil
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1 teaspoon grated lemon peel
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

  • 1/4 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed

Directions

  1. In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the first eight ingredients; add the chops. Seal bag and turn to coat; refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
