Categories: Meals

Ingredients

  • 1 shallot, finely chopped
  • 2 tbsp. balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tsp chopped fresh thyme
  • Kosher salt and black pepper
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 4 boneless pork chops
  • 3/4 cup red seedless grapes, halved
  • 4 heaping cups baby arugula
  • 1/2 cup crumbled gorgonzola or other blue cheese

Directions

  1. Combine the shallot, vinegar, 1 tsp thyme, 1 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper in a medium bowl. Gradually whisk in the olive oil, starting with a few drops and adding the rest in a steady stream.

  2. Put the pork chops in a shallow dish and season all over with salt. Add 3 tbsp. of the dressing and the remaining 1 tsp thyme. Rub all over the pork and let marinate 5 minutes.

  3. Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the pork until just cooked through, 4-5 minutes per side.

  4. Add the grapes and arugula to the remaining dressing and toss to coat. Transfer the pork chops to a serving platter or individual plates; top with the salad and sprinkle with the gorgonzola.
