Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl whisk the olive oil and balsamic vinegar together with the onion, garlic, salt, pepper, and water. Stir in the pistachios, chives, parsley, mint and cilantro.
  2. Light a grill and oil the grate. In a small bowl, whisk the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt and pepper.
  3. Grill the pork chops over moderately high heat, basting frequently with the basting salmuera, until browned. The steaks are done when a thermometer inserted in the thickest part registers at 140℉, 6 to 7 minutes per side, could be more depending on thickness of steaks.
  4. Transfer the chops to a plate and top with some of the serving salmuera. Sprinkle with smoked salt if preferred and serve with the remaining pistachio salmuera.

Notes

  • The pistachio salmuera would work very well with other proteins if you don't eat pork. Try it on steak, tuna, chicken, or even as a dip.
  • You can blend the pistachio salmuera if you'd prefer a more smooth consistency.
