Directions

1. In a pestle and mortar, grind the salt to a coarse texture before adding the sage and continuing to grind for a few more minutes until the ingredients are combined. 

2. Sprinkle the mixture onto the pork chops with the olive oil, then rub seasoning into the meat to coat well. 

3. Set aside to marinate for between 15 minutes to an hour.

4. Braai the chops over medium coals until golden on both sides and cooked through.

5. In a bowl, mix the Dijon mustard, wholegrain mustard, honey, lemon juice, sour cream and mayo, then season to taste. 

6. Serve this sauce to accompany the pork chops, or dish a heaped spoonful onto each chop.

7. For the side salad, mix the chopped fennel, apple, cucumber ribbons and parsley in a bowl, and drizzle a good amount of vinaigrette over the salad. 

8. Give a good squeeze of lime and toss the salad when you’re ready to serve.

9. This dish can be served as individual portions, or platter-style.
