Grilled pork chops are one of my go-to quick and easy recipes. They are so simple to cook so they save a lot of time for when you feel like having a gourmet dinner but just don’t have the time for endless cooking. For this recipe, I have added some boiled asparagus and a delicious homemade apple salsa.
If you want to jazz up your asparagus a bit I usually squeeze some fresh lemon juice over the asparagus stems and a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds. But they are just as good without the extra effort. What’s your favourite way to prepare asparagus? Let me know in the comments!
