GRILLED PORK CHOPS WITH PLUMS, HALLOUMI, AND LEMON



Grilled Pork Chops with Plums, Halloumi, and Lemon image

If you like feta, you should get to know Halloumi, a Cypriot cheese sold at Greek markets, specialty food stores, and some supermarkets. Smooth, oiled grill grates will keep the cheese from sticking. And keep a close eye on the plums as they cook; you want them to be soft and just slightly jammy, not mushy.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil, divided, plus more
1 tsp. honey
4 bone-in pork rib chops (about 1" thick), patted dry
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
4 ripe medium red or black plums (about 1 lb.), halved
1 lemon, halved, seeds removed
8 oz. Halloumi cheese, sliced into 1/2"-thick planks
2 Tbsp. torn oregano leaves
Aleppo-style pepper or crushed red pepper flakes (for serving)

Steps:

  • Prepare a grill for medium-high heat; oil grate. Combine honey and 2 Tbsp. oil in a large resealable plastic bag. Season pork chops generously with salt and pepper and add to bag. Seal, pressing out air, and massage chops to coat.
  • Place plums, lemon, and Halloumi on a rimmed baking sheet and drizzle with 2 Tbsp. oil; toss to coat. Season plums and lemon with salt, then season everything with pepper.
  • Grill pork over medium-high, turning occasionally with tongs and moving around if needed to prevent flare-ups, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center (about 1/2" from the bone) registers 130°F, 6-8 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, grill plums, lemon (cut side down), and Halloumi, turning plums and cheese once or twice, until grill marks appear and plums start to release their juices, about 4 minutes. Transfer plums, lemon, and Halloumi to cutting board with pork and let cool 1 minute. Slice each plum half into 3 wedges and tear Halloumi into 1" pieces.
  • Cut pork away from bone and slice 1/2" thick. Arrange meat on plates; discard bones. Spoon plums and Halloumi around and on top of meat, dividing evenly. Squeeze juice from grilled lemon over; season with more salt and pepper. Top with oregano, sprinkle with some Aleppo-style pepper, and drizzle with a little oil.

Tips:

  • Choose the right pork chops. Look for 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 to tenderize them and infuse them with flavor. You can use a simple marinade made with olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs, or you can try a more complex marinade that includes ingredients like yogurt, honey, or Dijon mustard.
  • Grill the pork chops over medium-high heat. This will help to create a nice sear on the outside of the chops while cooking them evenly throughout. Be sure to preheat your grill before cooking the pork chops.
  • Cook the pork chops until they reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit. This is the safe internal temperature for pork chops, as it ensures that they are cooked all the way through without overcooking them.
  • Let the pork chops rest before serving. This will help to keep the juices in the chops and prevent them from drying out.

Conclusion:

Grilled lemon pork chops are a delicious and easy-to-make weeknight meal. By following these tips, you can ensure that your pork chops turn out juicy, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. Serve them with your favorite sides, such as grilled vegetables, roasted potatoes, or a fresh salad.
