Grilled Pork Chops with Scallions, Garlic and Herbs

For exceptional flavor, slather a mix of fresh herbs on pork chops before grilling.

Ingredients

• 4 1 1/2-inch-thick boneless pork loin chops (8 ounces each)
• Kosher salt and coarse black pepper
• 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (EVOO)
• 1 small bunch scallions or 2-3 spring onions, whites and greens finely chopped
• 4 cloves garlic, chopped
• 4 sprigs rosemary, stripped
• 2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves
• 1 lemon, zested, then cut into wedges
• 1 teaspoon fennel seed

Preparation

Pre-heat an outdoor grill or indoor grill pan to medium, about 325°F.

Place the pork chops in a shallow dish; season with salt and pepper and dress with EVOO. On a chopping board, finely chop and combine the scallions (or spring onions), garlic, rosemary, thyme, lemon zest and fennel seed; slather evenly over the chops.

Grill the chops for 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally. Let the chops rest, then slice and douse with lemon juice. Serve with corn or broccolini.
