Further porky themes for today's dinner with a Grilled Pork Chop and Sugarsnap Peas. I briefly marinade the chop in mustard and maple syrup (disappointing classicists everywhere for I have no honey); a few minutes later and it's on the grill until the fat pops and blackens under the heat. Application of light pressure to half a lemon yields a few drops of juice splashing onto the meat. I perch the chop on some wilted spinach with a dash of soy sauce and slide some blanched sugarsnap peas onto the side of the plate. I find that pork always takes well to sweet flavours, but it's the salty zing of soy sauce with a hint of lemon that really makes the dish here.
