Ingredients
For the Salsa Verde:
- Tomatillos (with husks removed)
- Chili poblanos
- Garlic cloves
- Fresh cilantro
- Green onions
- Olive oil
- Salt and pepper
For the Pork Chops:
- Bone-in pork chops
- Olive oil
- Salt and pepper
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Salsa Verde
-
Roast the Vegetables: Preheat your grill for about five minutes. Brush the tomatillos and chili poblanos with olive oil using a heat-resistant silicone brush. Place them whole on the grill, along with garlic cloves. Roast until nicely charred, checking every few minutes to prevent burning.
-
Blend the Ingredients: Once roasted, remove the stem from the poblanos. In a blender, combine tomatillos, poblanos, garlic, fresh cilantro, and sliced green onions. Blend until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Step 2: Grill the Pork Chops
-
Prepare the Pork Chops: Allow the pork chops to rest at room temperature for 30 minutes. Season generously with salt and pepper on both sides. Brush with olive oil to prevent sticking.
-
Grill to Perfection: Place the pork chops on the grill for about five minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired doneness. Use Chef Paul's hand trick to check for medium doneness: press the fatty part of your palm; it should be firm and spring back slightly.
Step 3: Serve and Enjoy
-
Plate the Dish: Lay the pork chops on a serving platter. Add a dollop of salsa verde over the top, and garnish with olives and red peppers for added flavor.
-
Pairing Suggestions: Serve with a tall glass of ice-cold sparkling water or a refreshing white wine to complement the dish.
