Grilled Pork Chops With Plums, Halloumi, And Lemon
- 4 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil, divided, plus more
- 1 tsp. honey
- 4 bone-in pork rib chops (about 1" thick), patted dry
- Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
- 4 ripe medium red or black plums (about 1 lb.), halved
- 1 lemon, halved, seeds removed
- 8 oz. Halloumi cheese, sliced into 1/2"-thick planks
- 2 Tbsp. torn oregano leaves
- Aleppo-style pepper or crushed red pepper flakes (for serving)
- Prepare a grill for medium-high heat; oil grate. Combine honey and 2 Tbsp. oil in a large resealable plastic bag. Season pork chops generously with salt and pepper and add to bag. Seal, pressing out air, and massage chops to coat.
- Place plums, lemon, and Halloumi on a rimmed baking sheet and drizzle with 2 Tbsp. oil; toss to coat. Season plums and lemon with salt, then season everything with pepper.
- Grill pork over medium-high, turning occasionally with tongs and moving around if needed to prevent flare-ups, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center (about 1/2" from the bone) registers 130u0b0F, 6-8 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, grill plums, lemon (cut side down), and Halloumi, turning plums and cheese once or twice, until grill marks appear and plums start to release their juices, about 4 minutes. Transfer plums, lemon, and Halloumi to cutting board with pork and let cool 1 minute. Slice each plum half into 3 wedges and tear Halloumi into 1" pieces.
- Cut pork away from bone and slice 1/2" thick. Arrange meat on plates; discard bones. Spoon plums and Halloumi around and on top of meat, dividing evenly. Squeeze juice from grilled lemon over; season with more salt and pepper. Top with oregano, sprinkle with some Aleppo-style pepper, and drizzle with a little oil.
