Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 large jalapeno chilies, stemmed
2 large garlic cloves, peeled
7 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 soy sauce
2 tablespoons dijon mustard
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon oriental sesame oil
1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
2 teaspoons grated lemon peel
4 7 to 8 ounce pork loin chops, about 1/2 inch thick
10 asparagus spears, trimmed, cut about 1 1/2 inch pieces
3 large garlic cloves, minced
1 medium zucchini, halved lenghtwise, cut crosswise into 1/4 inch thick diagonal slices
1 yellow summer squash, halved lenghtwise into 1/4 inch thick diagonal slices 1 small red bell pepper, seeded, cut into strips

Steps:

  • Pre-heat oven to 350 Place chilies and 2 garlic cloves in small baking dish. Spoon 1 tablespoon olive oil over, turn to coat. Roast until chilies and garlic are very soft, turning once, about 40 minutes. Cool. Puree mixture in processor. Whisk puree, 4 tablespoons olive oil, soy sauce, dijon mustard, honey, oriental sesame oil, rosemary and lemon peel in medium bowl to blend. Place pork chops in 13x9x2 inch glass baking dish. Pour marinade over pork chops and turn to coat. Cover and refrigerate 1 hour turning occasionally. Cook asparagus in medium pot of boiling salted water until crisp-tender, about 1 minute. Drain. Transfer asparagus to bowl of ice water, cool, drain. Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat) or preheat broiler. Remove pork chops from marinade. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill or broil pork chops until no longer pink in center, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer pork chops to platter. Tent with foil to keep warm while preparing vegetables. Heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add minced garlic, saute until golden, about 1 minute. Add zucchini, yellow squash and red bell pepper, saute until vegetables are crisp-tender, about 2 minutes. Add asparagus, saute until asparagus are heated through, about 1 minute longer. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Arrange vegetables around pork and serve
