GRILLED PORK CHOPS
with Chimichurri Sauce



INGREDIENTS
- 1 bunch Italian flat-leaf parsley stems removed
- 3/4 cup Culinary Circle Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 1/3 cup red wine vinegar
- 1/4 cup fresh oregano leaves
- 6 garlic cloves roughly chopped
- 1 shallot roughly chopped
- 3/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 4 thick-cut pork chops
DIRECTIONS
In a food processor or blender, combine parsley, oil, vinegar, oregano, garlic, shallot, red pepper flakes, cumin and salt. Process until well combined. Place ½ cup in a storage container; refrigerate until ready to serve.
Place pork chops in a 1-gallon recloseable food storage bag; add remaining chimichurri sauce. Seal bag; toss to coat. Refrigerate a minimum of 2 hours or up to overnight, turning occasionally.
Prepare grill to medium heat. Remove pork chops from bag, removing excess sauce from chops; toss bag. Place pork chops on grill; grill, turning occasionally, until internal temperature reaches 150°F on an instant read thermometer (about 20-40 minutes depending on thickness). Remove from grill and let rest 5 minutes before serving.
Serve with reserved chimichurri sauce.
