It's really easy--so easy, you don't even need a recipe. Here's what you need:
Pork chops
Asparagus
Corn meal
Beef broth
olive oil
apple cider vinegar
brown sugar
your preferred spices
Take the pork and marinate it in a plastic bag with olive oil, apple cider vinegar, an ounce of brown sugar and some ground ginger (you could also use cloves or ground mustard or fennel...use your preference!). Leave it sitting for about 45 minutes in the fridge. Put the asparagus on some foil, and drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. When the pork is ready, put it on the grill on medium (and put the asparagus, still on the foil, on the upper rack of the grill). Grill the pork for 6-7 minutes on each side. The asparagus needs about 10 minutes. While it's cooking, make the polenta.
Boil 2 cups of broth and one cup water. Add 1 cup corn meal and 1 tsp salt. Boil slightly and stir constantly. After five minutes, take off heat and keep stirring. Beat in a tbs of butter.
Take the pork and asparagus off the grill (make sure the pork is at least 145 degrees F in the center). Let the pork rest 8 minutes. While you're letting it rest, plate the asparagus and the polenta. Adjust the salt and pepper levels of the polenta, or add some garlic powder, onion powder, basil, whatever you want! Eat in the living room while watching dumb television (that's what we did!)
