Grilled Pork Chops with Fried-Sage Salsa Verde

• Grapeseed oil, for frying
• 1/2 cup sage leaves
• 1/2 medium shallot, minced
• 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
• 3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for brushing
• 1 cup lightly packed parsley leaves, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons minced celery heart with leaves
• 1 tablespoon capers, rinsed, drained and minced
• 1 1/2 teaspoons minced thyme
• Kosher salt
• Pepper
• Four 3/4-pound, bone-in pork rib chops, about 1 inch thick

1. In a small saucepan, heat 1/4 inch of grapeseed oil until shimmering.
2. Add the sage and fry over moderate heat, stirring, until the sizzling stops and the leaves are crisp, 2 minutes.
3. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to paper towels to drain.
4. In a medium bowl, whisk the shallot with the vinegar and let stand for 5 minutes.
5. Whisk in the 3/4 cup of olive oil, the parsley, celery, capers and thyme and season with salt and pepper.
6. Light a grill or preheat a grill pan.
7. Brush the pork chops with olive oil and season generously with salt and pepper.
8. Grill over moderate heat, turning once, until lightly charred and an instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone registers 135, 12 to 14 minutes.
9. Transfer the chops to a platter and let rest for 5 minutes.
10. Stir the fried sage leaves into the salsa verde and serve with the pork chops.
