Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 tablespoon aniseed or fennel seeds
4 (1-inch-thick) bone-in pork chops (about 4 pounds total), patted dry
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
3 tablespoons olive oil, divided; plus more for grill
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon finely chopped rinsed salt-packed anchovy fillet
3 radishes, trimmed, thinly sliced on a mandoline
1/4 cup parsley leaves with tender stems
2 bunches scallions, roots trimmed
A spice mill or mortar and pestle

Steps:

  • Toast aniseed in a dry small skillet over medium heat, tossing often, until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Let cool; coarsely grind in spice mill or with mortar and pestle. Season pork chops all over with salt and pepper; sprinkle with aniseed and red pepper flakes. Let sit at room temperature 30 minutes.
  • Prepare a grill for medium-high heat; brush grate with oil. Grill chops, moving around on grate to avoid flare-ups, until deep golden brown on both sides and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 140°F, 8-10 minutes. Transfer chops to a plate and let rest 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, whisk lemon juice, anchovy, and 2 Tbsp. oil in a medium bowl to combine. Add radishes and parsley and toss to coat.
  • Toss scallions on a rimmed baking sheet with remaining 1 Tbsp. oil; season with salt and pepper. Grill scallions directly on grate, turning once, until lightly charred, about 2 minutes. Transfer scallions to a platter, set pork chops on top, and scatter radish salad over.

I accidentally overcooked the pork chops, but the radishes and charred scallions were still amazing.

This was okay. I think pork chops are better grilled than pan-fried.

This recipe was easy to follow and the pork chops turned out great. I think I would add a little more salt and pepper next time, but overall it was a great dish.

The pork chops were a little dry, but the radishes and charred scallions were delicious. I think I would try marinating the pork chops next time.

This was my first time making pork chops and they were a huge hit with my family! The chops were juicy and flavorful, and the radishes and charred scallions added a nice touch of sweetness and smokiness. I will definitely be making this dish again.
