Instructions
Prepare Blueberry Olive Tapenade:
- Add the ingredients for the tapenade to a food processor or blender and process until a paste forms. Taste the tapenade for flavor and add sea salt or more lemon juice to taste. Transfer to a sealable container and refrigerate until ready to use.
Prepare Pork Chops:
- Add the ingredients for the marinade (olive oil through sea salt) to a blender and blend until smooth. Transfer pork chops to a zip lock bag and pour in the marinade. Marinate at least 10 minutes, or refrigerate overnight, up to 12 hours.
- Turn your oven on the high broil setting and move one of the racks to the shelf that's second-to-the top. Line a baking sheet or roasting pan with foil and place the pork chops on top. Broil 6 minutes, flip, then broil another 6 to 10 minutes, until pork chops are cooked through and the internal temperature is 145 degrees F.

Notes
- *I used half black olives, half green olives - you can use any combination of the two.
