Pork – cook with the ‘6+2+2 method’

Heat your barbecue or grill to a medium-high heat and oil the surface. For best results, use a charcoal barbecue. Place the pork chops on the grill and cook for 6 minutes on the first side. Flip the pork over and cook for a further 2 minutes on the other side. Remove from the heat and rest for at least 2 minutes.

Serve

Place a pork chop on each plate and top with the bean and corn mix, pineapple relish, and mint and yoghurt dressing. Optional: serve with rice.

This recipe is a great one to get ahead. Got people coming over for a barbecue tomorrow? Make all the components the day before and all you need to do on the day is cook the pork.
