Grilled Pork Chops, Fennel & Orange
- 1 large orange, preferably organic
- 2 fennel bulbs
- 2 bone-in pork chops (about 1 inch thick)
- Extra-virgin olive oil
- Kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 cup flat-leaf parsley leaves, roughly chopped
- 1 tablespoon capers with their brine
- Honey, for drizzling
- Red wine vinegar, for drizzling
- Flaky salt
- Preheat the grill (or grill plate or griddle) to medium-high heat.
- Wash and scrub the orange well-you'll be eating the skin. Cut into thick circles. Set on a plate. Use a vegetable peeler to strip away the tough, outer later of the fennel. Cut lengthwise into eighths-leaving the core still intact. Set on a plate. Set the pork chops on another plate. Drizzle all three components generously with oil, then season with salt and pepper.
- This can be done simultaneously or staggered, whatever works with your setup: Grill the oranges for about 10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the skins are tender and the flesh is charred. Grill the fennel for about 10 minutes-4 minutes on each flat side, 2 minutes on its rounded back. It should be soft, slouchy, and charred. Grill the pork chops for about 15 minutes-flipping halfway through, until the outside has colorful grill marks and the meat is cooked through to about 145u0b0 F.
- To serve, drizzle the fennel and pork chops with more olive oil and sprinkle with flaky salt. Top both with the orange relish.
