Pork chops and broccoli tips

The recipe is best made with a pork chop as they are easy to find and easier to cook on the braai. The marinade is simple enough but you can add any other flavours you want to experiment with. The broccoli is less boring even if it is a superfood thanks to cooking it in the juices and marinade. Add a dash of paprika for sime spice and serve warm with some mashed potatoes.
