| 1/2 tsp. lemon juice |
| 4 Tbsp. coarsely ground black pepper |
Instructions:

Cook's Tips:
You can substitute the butter with your favorite margarine or oil spread.
Random Cooking Tip: For marinated pork chops, put pork in a self-sealing bag with marinade in the refrigerator first thing in the morning. By suppertime, pork chops can be removed from marinade (dispose of used marinade) and ready to grill.
