Grilled Hoisin Pork Chops and Asparagus
The chops and asparagus can be grilled or cooked on a stove-top grill pan, using about the same timing. Or, you can cook the pork on the stovetop and roast the asparagus on a rimmed baking sheet. Roast the spears in a 450°F oven for 10 to 15 minutes, rotating them once and brushing with the sauce.
