I loved the flavors of this marinade and the fact that it doesn't have a lot of oil. I used very lean thick boneless pork chops. The marinade really tenderizes the pork without the saltiness of a brine. Instead of basil I used fresh thyme and marinated overnight. This will definitely be the recipe I reach for when making pork chops. Many thanks to Peggy Gwillim for sharing the recipe.
