GRILLED PORK CHOPS WITH ROASTED GARLIC GREMOLATA



Grilled Pork Chops with Roasted Garlic Gremolata image

Provided by Curtis Stone

Time 1h50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup kosher salt
2 tablespoons smoked paprika
1 tablespoon pink peppercorns
4 fresh sage leaves
2 sprigs fresh thyme
1 sprig fresh rosemary
2 14-ounce bone-in center-cut pork chops (about 1 1/4 inches thick)
Freshly ground pepper
1 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 head garlic, broken into individual cloves, peeled
1/2 cup finely chopped fresh parsley
Grated zest of 3 lemons
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Brine the pork: In a large bowl, whisk 1 quart warm water, the brown sugar, salt and paprika until the sugar and salt dissolve. Add the peppercorns, sage, thyme and rosemary and let cool to room temperature. Add the pork chops to the brine. Cover and refrigerate 24 hours.
  • Meanwhile, make the gremolata: Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F. Combine the olive oil and garlic in a small baking dish. Cover with foil and bake until the garlic is completely tender, about 1 hour. Remove from the oven and let the garlic cool in the oil. Strain, reserving the roasted garlic and oil separately. Chop enough roasted garlic to measure 1 tablespoon. Reserve the remaining roasted garlic for another use.
  • Mix the parsley, lemon zest, chopped roasted garlic and 1/2 cup of the garlic oil in a small bowl; season with salt and pepper. Reserve the remaining garlic oil to coat the pork.
  • Grill the pork: Preheat a grill to medium high. Remove the pork from the brine and pat dry. Lightly brush the pork with some of the garlic oil and sprinkle with pepper. Grill, turning as needed to prevent flare-ups, until a nicely charred crust forms and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center registers 135 degrees F for medium doneness, 8 to 10 minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest 8 minutes.
  • Carve the meat from the bones and slice against the grain. Serve with the gremolata.

Tips:

  • Select high-quality pork chops: Choose pork chops that are at least 1 inch thick and have a good amount of marbling. This will help ensure that they stay juicy and flavorful during grilling.
  • Marinate the pork chops: Marinating the pork chops in a flavorful marinade will help tenderize them and infuse them with delicious flavor. The marinade can be made with a variety of ingredients, such as olive oil, citrus juice, garlic, herbs, and spices.
  • Preheat the grill: Make sure the grill is preheated to a medium-high heat before cooking the pork chops. This will help sear the outside of the chops and prevent them from sticking to the grill.
  • Grill the pork chops: Cook the pork chops for 5-7 minutes per side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit. Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the chops are cooked to the desired doneness.
  • Let the pork chops rest: Once the pork chops are cooked, let them rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the chops, resulting in a more tender and flavorful eating experience.

Conclusion:

Grilled citrus and garlic pork chops are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a summer cookout. By following these tips, you can ensure that your pork chops are cooked to perfection and bursting with flavor. Serve the pork chops with your favorite sides, such as grilled vegetables, roasted potatoes, or a fresh salad.
