Grilled Pork Chops with Grapes and Fennel
Grilled pork chops with grilled fennel and grapes is an easy and elegant meal made entirely on the grill.
Servings: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 2 thick cut bone-in pork chops
- kosher salt and pepper
- 2 cups red seedless grapes rinsed
- 1 bulb fennel cut in half then thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- juice from 1/2 a lemon
- salt and pepper
- fennel fronds for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat outdoor grill on high until temperature reads 500°F.
- Season the pork chops liberally with salt and pepper.
- Combine grapes and fennel in a large bowl. Add olive oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper and toss to combine.
- Place a grill mat directly on one side of the grill grates and spread out grape and fennel mixture on top. Reduce heat under the grill mat to medium-low, close the lid and cook for 2-3 minutes before stirring. Cook until grapes start to burst and char marks appear on the fennel.
- Place pork chops on the other side of the grill over high heat and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side. This will vary with thickness of the pork chop. (*see note)
- Return grilled grapes and fennel to the bowl, add the feta and toss to combine.
- Plate pork chops, spoon grapes and fennel over top and garnish with fennel fronds before serving.

Notes
*Internal temperature should read 145-150°F for medium-rare pork chops. I pull them off at this point and cover for about 5-10 minutes as they continue to cook a little off the grill. This results in a nice medium doneness and juicy chop.
