Pork Chops With Chimichurri Recipes

GRILLED PORK CHOPS WITH CHIMICHURRI

Steps:

• For the chimichurri sauce, combine all ingredients in a food processor with 1 tablespoon water. Process until blended; set aside.
• Prepare a grill for medium-heat cooking, leaving one area of the grill cool (this will be a place to transfer the chops if they flare up).
• Brush chops all over with oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Grill, turning once or twice, until just cooked through, about 15 minutes.
• Watch the chops carefully, and move them to the cool area of the grill if they flare up or brown too quickly.
• Let rest 5 minutes; serve with the chimichurri on the side.

PORK CHOPS WITH SMASHED POTATOES AND CHIMICHURRI SAUCE

Steps:

• Put the potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add 2 teaspoons salt, partially cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat and simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 10 minutes. Drain, then return the potatoes to the pot and coarsely mash with a large spoon. Cover and keep warm.
• Meanwhile, make the chimichurri sauce: Pulse the parsley, cilantro, olive oil, shallot, garlic, vinegar and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper in a food processor to form a coarse paste.
• Heat a large grill pan over medium-high heat. Pat the pork chops dry and season with salt and pepper. Lightly brush the grill pan with olive oil, then grill the chops until just cooked through, about 2 minutes per side. Serve the pork chops and potatoes with the chimichurri sauce.

GRILLED PORK CHOPS WITH GREEN BEANS AND CHIMICHURRI

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill to medium-high heat.
• Put a double layered piece of heavy-duty foil on a baking sheet or cutting board. Fold and gather the edge to form a rim all around. Toss the green beans and tomatoes on the foil with 1 tablespoon olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Lightly oil the grill grates. Slide the foil tray onto one side of the grill and cook, tossing occasionally, until the beans char slightly and are tender and the tomatoes begin to burst, about 15 minutes. Meanwhile, sprinkle the pork chops all over with 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Grill until the pork chops are just slightly pink near the bone, 6 minutes on the first side and 4 to 5 minutes on the second side. Transfer the pork chops to a cutting board to rest for about 5 minutes.
• Combine the herbs, vinegar, garlic, remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 tablespoon water in small food processor and pulse until herbs are coarsely chopped. Season with salt and pepper. Serve the pork chops with the green beans and tomatoes and chimichurri sauce.
