1. Put the pork chops in a ceramic dish with the garlic and shallot. Pour over the cider mixture and chill for at least 12 hours, or up to 24.
2. Heat the barbecue. Take the chops out of the marinade and pat dry. Season well with black pepper and cook on each side until browned and cooked through. Make sure you cook the fat through properly. Slice the apples thinly and toss them in a splash of cider vinegar, put in a bowl with the rocket and watercress and dress with olive oil and more vinegar if you need to. Season well.

If it rains...

Grill or griddle (char-grill) for 7-10 minutes each side depending on the thickness of the chops.

  Lovely pork chops, very moist, tender and tasty. The salad is a perfect accompaniment, although I use champagne vinegar rather than cider vinegar.

  Tasty and quick (excluding the marinade time!) - used some of the marinade towards a light gravy.

  Haven't tried this yet as i am a little confused. Am I being daft? The recipe refers to "cider mixture" - yet does not appear to gives instructions on how to make said mixture. Will still be having a go though.

  Cider mixture is all ingredients not in the dressing. I wasn't overly impressed with this, too sweet. Don't think I will make again but if I did I would use less sugar, choose a dry cider and probably cut down on the salt.
