Quick-Brined Grilled Pork Chops With Treviso And Balsamic Glaze

• 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

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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 150u0b0F, 2 to 3 minutes per side for vegetables and 7 to 8 minutes per side for chops.
4. Transfer pork and vegetables to plates. Drizzle glaze over; sprinkle with parsley.
