My sticky chops are infused with a gooey mix of lemon, thyme and honey. The flavours go great with pork and they couldn't be simpler to prepare. These chops are great to throw on the barbecue or pop in the oven and serve with a nice salad.

Oven/baking tray

Small mixing bowl

Sharpish knife

Fine grater for lemon zest

Spoon to stir

Before you start preheat your oven to 190c and have all the ingredients out and ready. Now click here!

Preheat your oven to 190c. Add the chopped thyme into a small mixing bowl, then using the finest side of a grater, add in the zest of a lemon. Add 1 teaspoon of dijon mustard together with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of runny honey. Add a pinch of salt and pepper and then stir well.

Using a sharp knife, cut through the fat on the chops in about 1cm intervals, taking care not to cut through the meat. The fat should look like a giant set of teeth! This will prevent the chops curling up durin g cooking!

Place your chops on a baking tray and add a teaspoon of the glaze to the top of each. Rub in the glaze with the back of the spoon, turn the chops over and use the remaining glaze on the other side, spreading it out again with the spoon.

Roast in the oven for 25 minutes until nicely caramelised on top.

Serve with a nice salad or, if you're at a barbecue, serve with more meat!

I hope that you enjoy it!
