Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 tablespoons coarse kosher salt
1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
4 3/4- to 1-inch-thick pork rib chops
1 head of Treviso radicchio
1 head of Belgian endive
3 tablespoons (about) extra-virgin olive oil
3/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon butter
Chopped fresh Italian parsley

Steps:

  • Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Mix 1 1/2 cups water, coarse salt, and sugar in 11 x 7 x 2-inch glass baking dish; stir until salt and sugar dissolve. Add pork chops; let brine 20 minutes, turning occasionally.
  • Cut Treviso and endive lengthwise into quarters, keeping some core attached to each piece. Place on baking sheet; brush with some oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Boil vinegar in small skillet until reduced to 1/4 cup, about 5 minutes. Whisk in butter. Season glaze with salt and pepper.
  • Remove pork from brine; pat dry. Brush with oil; sprinkle with pepper. Grill pork, Treviso, and endive until vegetables are softened and thermometer inserted horizontally into center of chops registers 150°F, 2 to 3 minutes per side for vegetables and 7 to 8 minutes per side for chops.
  • Transfer pork and vegetables to plates. Drizzle glaze over; sprinkle with parsley.

Overall, I thought this recipe was pretty good. The pork chops were tender and juicy, but the Treviso and balsamic glaze were a bit too sweet for my taste.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my pork chops were dry and tough. The Treviso and balsamic glaze were still good though.
