Ingredients
- 4 bone-in pork chops 1½ inches thick
- 3 tablespoons olive oil divided
- 1 large shallot diced
- 1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh rosemary
- 1/4 cup dry red wine
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 2 cups fresh blueberries
- 1 Chili pepper thinly sliced
- 1 1/2 tablespoon kosher salt or to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper divided
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar or to taste
Garnish:
- fresh thyme
- fresh Rosemary
- fresh lemon peel
- Grilled lemon halves
Instructions
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat.
- Add the diced shallot, chopped thyme, and rosemary, and cook, stirring often, until softened, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add wine, lemon juice, and lemon zest, and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Simmer until the mixture is almost entirely reduced, 2 to 3 minutes. Ensure to stir occasionally.
- Stir in blueberries, chili pepper, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the blueberries burst and the sauce thickens, about 6-8 minutes.
- Remove from heat and stir in balsamic vinegar and brow sugar to taste.
- Preheat a gas or charcoal grill to medium-high heat (400°F to 450°F).
- Par-dry the pork chops and season them with the remaining oil, salt, and pepper.
- Grill the pork chops for 10 minutes, flip, and grill for another 10 minutes, or until a thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the meat registers 130°F to 135°F.
- Remove the meat from the grill to a plate, cover it with aluminum foil, and let it rest for 10 minutes.
- Serve the pork topped with the blueberry sauce on top of mashed sweet potatoes. Garnish with thyme and rosemary sprigs, lemon peel, and grilled lemon halves.
