Title: Grilled Pork Chops w/Concord Grapes
Categories: Pork, Fruits,
Yield: 4 servings
1/2 c Kosher salt; more to season
1/4 c Sugar
2 c Boiling water
4 Bone-in pork rib chops; cut
- 1 1/4" thick
1 Head of garlic
5 tb Extra-virgin olive oil
Pepper
1 lb Seedless purple Concord
- grapes
Aged balsamic vinegar; for
- drizzling
In a large bowl, stir the salt, sugar and boiling water
until the sugar dissolves. Let cool until lukewarm. Add
the chops and refrigerate for 4 hours.
Meanwhile, set the oven @ 400°F/205°C.
Place the garlic on a sheet of foil and drizzle with 1
tablespoon of the oil. Wrap tightly and roast until very
soft, 45 minutes. Cool. Squeeze the cloves from the
skins and mash.
Light a grill and oil the grate. Remove the pork chops
from the brine and pat dry. Rub all over with 2
tablespoons of the oil and season with salt and pepper.
Grill over moderate heat, turning once, until lightly
charred and just cooked through, 10 minutes. Transfer to
plates; keep warm.
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil. Add
the grapes and cook over moderately high heat, stirring,
until they start to burst, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the
remaining 1 tablespoon of oil and half of the mashed
garlic and cook, stirring, until incorporated, 1 minute.
Reserve the remaining garlic for another use. Transfer
the grapes to the plates. Drizzle the chops and grapes
with vinegar and serve.
