Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, chopped preserved lemons, fresh thyme, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a marinade.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Pork

    Place the pork chops in a large resealable bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the pork, ensuring it is evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a charcoal grill, make sure the coals are evenly distributed and have turned white.

  4. 4

    Grill the Pork

    Remove the pork from the marinade and let any excess drip off. Grill the pork chops for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove the pork from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. Slice the onion and serve it alongside the grilled pork.
