Garlic Grilled Pork Chops

In a small bowl stir together ½ tsp ground cloves (if you have these), 2 tsp crushed or minced garlic, 1 tsp salt, and 1 tsp pepper.

Rub both sides of chops with olive oil. Sprinkle mixture on each side of the chops and rub it in. Let meat come to room temperature.

Heat an outdoor grill to high heat, about 500 degrees. Sear each side over high heat for approximately 2 minutes, then move chops to an upper rack or indirect heat to finish cooking.

Close the lid and cook on medium, for approx.15 minutes more (time may vary depending on heat and thickness of chop).

Pork needs to be cooked to an internal temperature of 145 degrees.

Remove from heat, cover loosely with aluminum foil and allow chops to rest for 5 minutes.
