Thread: Does anyone have a delicious easy summer meal recipe to make for dinner tongiht?

Cold pasta salad made with corkscrew pasta (tricolor looks prettier), then add what you want - i added chopped up summer sausage (or you can use pepperoni slices), black olives, green olives (use goya's green olives with pimentos), diced red onions, frozen peas (defrost them first), frozen broccoli cuts (defrost these also). To a 1 lb box of pasta, add an entire bottle of Italian dressing. For one person, this will last a few days in the fridge for at least 4-5 meals.

Mustard-Grilled Pork




Recipe from Smithfield Lean Generation Pork.

Ingredients:

4 boneless pork chops, 3/4-inch thick
1-1/2 cups diced plum tomatoes
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
1/4 tsp. cayenne
8 sun-dried tomatoes in oil, drained, chopped
2 Tbs. Dijon-style mustard
1 Tbs. honey
1 tsp. minced garlic

Preparation:

Have a gas grill heating or prepare a bed of ash-covered coals. Meanwhile, combine the diced plum tomatoes in a medium bowl with the sun-dried tomatoes, chopped basil and cayenne. Set aside.

In a small bowl, combine mustard, honey and garlic. Place chops on a medium-hot grill grid and cook 3 minutes. Brush the mustard mix on the top, turn chops and brush on more mustard mixture. Grill 3 minutes, turn chops and brush with more mustard mix. Cook a couple minutes more, turning and brushing until chops are done, but still moist. Serve with the two-tomato mixture.

Yield: 4 servings, Grilling: 8 minutes
