Spinach Salad With Grilled Pork And Nectarines Recipes

HERB & BALSAMIC GRILLED PORK WITH SPINACH AND GRAPE SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill over medium-high heat. Soak the shallots in cold water for 10 minutes (this helps remove some of the pungent bite). Drain.
• Pierce the pork chops all over with a fork. Put in a shallow dish and sprinkle all over with salt and pepper. Coat the pork in all but 2 tablespoons of the Tuscan Style Herb & Balsamic Cooking Sauce and set aside to marinate at room temperature for 10 minutes.
• Oil the grill grates and grill the pork until cooked through but still moist, basting occasionally with the reserved cooking sauce, about 4 minutes per side. Let the pork rest.
• Meanwhile, add the spinach, grapes and shallots to a large bowl. Drizzle in the oil, lemon juice and honey and toss. Season with salt and pepper.
• Arrange the pork chops on a serving platter. Top with the spinach and grape salad and sprinkle with the blue cheese.

GRILLED PORK WITH NECTARINES

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium high. Bring the vinegar, sugar, mustard and lemon zest to a simmer in a medium saucepan. Cook, whisking occasionally, until syrupy, about 3 minutes. Add the nectarines and cook until just softened, 3 to 5 minutes; keep warm over low heat.
• Meanwhile, toss the fennel and red onion with the olive oil in a large bowl; season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Brush the grill grates with olive oil. Grill the vegetables (with the fennel perpendicular to the grates to keep them from falling into the grill, or use a grill basket), flipping, until marked and crisp-tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl. Add the lemon juice and parsley; toss to combine.
• Season the pork chops with salt and pepper. Brush the grill grates with more olive oil. Grill the pork until marked and just cooked through, about 4 minutes per side. Serve with the nectarines (discard the lemon zest) and the fennel-onion mixture.
