Cooking Instructions:

Pork

Combine the garlic, lemon zest, juice, oregano and oil in blender and blend until smooth. Put the pork in a resealable bag, add the marinade and turn to coat. Refrigerate for 1-2 hours.

Heat your grill (or grill pan) to med-high. Remove the pork from marinade and season with salt and pepper. Grill until grill marks appear 3-4 minutes, flip and grill 3-4 minutes more. Pork should be cooked to medium doneness (145-150°F). Remove the pork from the grill to a cutting board and loosely tent with foil. Before serving, let rest 6-8 minutes until internal temperature reaches 160° F/71° C.

Hummus-yogurt Dip

Put the first six ingredients in a food processor and begin to process; add the chickpea liquid as needed to allow the machine to produce a silky and smooth puree.

Add the yogurt and vinegar and blend to combine.

Taste, season with salt and pepper and add more lemon juice if desired.

Serve the chops on a layer of the yogurt dip (or with the yogurt dip on the side) and garnish with lemon zest and finely chopped oregano.
