HOW TO ROAST GARLIC:
Step 1: Slice the top off of the head of garlic. Place on a double layer of aluminum foil. Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. Gently bring the aluminum foil together like a tent and place in the oven for about 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool.
Step 2: Squeeze the garlic into a bowl and whisk together with maple syrup and softened butter. Place in a small bowl and refrigerate until needed.
HOW TO MAKE SOUR CREAM MASHED POTATOES:
Step 1: Peel the potatoes and cut into 1/2-inch cubes. Place in a pot of cold water and sprinkle with salt. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, about 12 minutes. Drain.
Step 2: Smash the potatoes with a potato masher or electric hand mixer. Add the butter, sour cream, salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese and chopped chives. Cover and set aside.
HOW TO MAKE MAPLE ROASTED GARLIC BUTTER:
Step 1: Add the softened butter and maple syrup to a small bowl. Use a whisk or an electric hand mixer to combine. Add the cooled roasted garlic and fold in with a rubber spatula. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until needed.

Grilled Pork Chops
Ingredients
- 6 Boneless Pork Chops
- Salt and Pepper to taste
Maple Balsamic Glaze
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
- 1/3 cup dark pure maple syrup
- 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
- ground pepper to taste
Maple & Roasted Garlic Whipped Butter
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) salted butter room temperature
- 2 tablespoons dark pure maple syrup
- 1 head garlic roasted
Sour Cream Mashed Potatoes
- 6 to 7 Russet potatoes
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter softened
- 2/3 to 3/4 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup finely chopped chives
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Roasted Garlic
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Slice the top off of the head of garlic. Place on a double layer of aluminum foil. Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. Gently bring the aluminum foil together like a tent and place in the oven for about 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool. Squeeze the garlic into a bowl and whisk together with maple syrup and softened butter. Place in a small bowl and refrigerate until needed.
Sour Cream Mashed Potatoes
- Peel the potatoes and cut into 1/2-inch cubes. Place in a pot of cold water and sprinkle with salt. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, about 12 minutes. Drain. Smash the potatoes with a potato masher or electric hand mixer. Add the butter, sour cream, salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese and chopped chives. Cover and set aside.
Maple Balsamic Glaze
- In a small saucepan, over medium heat, cook the garlic in the olive oil. Add the balsamic vinegar and maple syrup and let simmer for about 5 to 6 minutes. This will thicken it slightly. Pour into a liquid measuring cup.
Grilling Pork Chops
- Sprinkle the pork chops generously with salt and pepper. Grill on a preheated grill for about 3 to 4 minutes on each side. If you love your pork medium rare, you should cook it to an internal temperature of 145 degrees (followed by a three-minute rest).
- Coat each pork chop generously with the maple balsamic glaze and place on the grill with no direct heat. This will caramelize the glaze without further cooking the pork chops. Let the meat rest for 5 minutes before cutting. Serve with your choice of seasonal vegetables.
