Ingredients

1/2 Tablespoon dried rosemary (see notes for fresh)
1/2 teaspoon dried sage (see notes for fresh)
2-3 cloves garlic, crushed
2 Tablespoons olive oil
1 Tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
2-4 pork chops

Instructions

Whisk together rosemary, sage, garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper.
Pour over pork chops. Let marinate for a minimum of 3 hours.
Grill to your liking.

Notes

Freshly squeezed lemon juice packs the most flavor, but bottled lemon juice can be used if desired.
Use either fresh or dried rosemary. For fresh rosemary, use 1 tablespoon, and for dried, use 1/2 tablespoon.
The same applies for sage. Use 1 teaspoon fresh sage or 1/2 teaspoon dried sage.
Fresh garlic is a powerhouse of flavor, and I always recommend using it if possible. With that being said, jarred, minced garlic could also be used.
A mild tasting oil such as canola or soybean could be swapped in for olive oil, if desired.
A large zip-lock bag works great as a vessel to marinate meat. Remove the air, and seal tightly. Massage meat occasionally.
Lemon Rosemary Marinade is great for lamb chops too.
