Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Kosher salt
1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1 3-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and thinly sliced
4 boneless center-cut pork chops (3/4 inch thick; 6 ounces each)
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for the grill
Pinch of red pepper flakes
1/3 cup red wine vinegar
1 small or 1/2 large eggplant, sliced 1/2 inch thick
1 zucchini, halved lengthwise and sliced 1/4 inch thick
1 bunch scallions, trimmed
1 cup cherry tomatoes
1/4 cup fresh basil

Steps:

  • Preheat a grill to medium high. Combine 1 cup warm water, 2 tablespoons salt, 1 tablespoon brown sugar and half of the ginger in a large bowl; stir until dissolved. Add the pork chops; cover with cold water. Let sit 10 minutes. Drain and pat dry; season with salt.
  • Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the remaining ginger and the red pepper flakes and cook until the ginger sizzles, 2 minutes. Add the vinegar and the remaining 3 tablespoons brown sugar. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the glaze thickens, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer 2 tablespoons to a small bowl for basting; set aside the rest for serving.
  • Brush the grill grates with olive oil. Toss the eggplant, zucchini, scallions and tomatoes with the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large bowl; season with salt. Grill the vegetables until tender, 3 to 5 minutes per side; transfer the scallions to a cutting board and transfer the rest of the vegetables to a large bowl. Grill the pork chops until marked and cooked through, 4 to 6 minutes per side, basting with the reserved glaze during the last few minutes.
  • Chop the scallions; add to the vegetables along with the basil. Top the pork chops with the remaining glaze. Serve with the vegetables.
  • Shishitos, small Japanese peppers, are usually mild, but beware: One in every dozen or so is super spicy!

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I think it could use more seasoning.

This dish was a bit too oily for my taste, but the flavors were good. I think I would try it again with less oil.
