Tantalize your taste buds with succulent grilled pork chops paired with a refreshing peach and parsley salad. A symphony of flavors awaits!
Ingredients:
- ¼ cup balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 clove garlic, finely chopped
- 1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt, divided
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, divided
- 6 tablespoons olive oil, divided, plus more for grill grates
- 4 ½-in.-thick bone-in pork chops (about 2 lb.)
- 4 cups arugula (about 4 oz.)
- 1 cup loosely packed fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves, torn
- 4 ripe peaches, nectarines, or apricots, pitted and sliced
Instructions:
- Heat up the grill until it reaches a high temperature of 450°F to 500°F and lightly coat the grates with oil. Combine vinegar, honey, minced garlic, ½ teaspoon each of salt and pepper, and 5 tablespoons of oil in a bowl.
- Dry off excess moisture from the pork chops and coat them with the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil. Sprinkle both sides with the remaining 1 teaspoon of salt and pepper.
- Grill the pork chops with the lid off, turning them over once, until a meat thermometer reads 145°F when inserted into the thickest part, approximately 3 to 4 minutes per side. Allow the meat to rest for 10 minutes.
- While waiting, mix arugula with chopped parsley and sliced peaches. Plate alongside the pork chops and drizzle with the prepared vinaigrette.
