Add a photoThe biggest challenge to making these sumptuous pork chops is the age-old question: fresh or dried herbs? While fresh is always better, sometimes dried is the way, be it a seasonal thing or a personal preference. The relish also goes well atop toasted baguettes or alongside a finely grilled steak.
Ingredientes
- ¾ lb Roma Tomatoes, seeded, chopped
- ¾ Cup Chopped Red Onion
- 3-4 Cloves of Garlic, chopped (about 1-2 tablespoons)
- 1 Tablespoon Chopped Fresh Basil or 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 2 Tablespoon Chopped Fresh Oregano or 1 1/2 teaspoons dried Oregano
- 1/3 Cup Red Wine Vinegar
- Salt & Pepper to taste
- 4-6 Thick, Center-cut Pork Chops, 1/2 to 3/4-inch thick

- Seed and chop tomatoes, place in a medium-size bowl. When chopping the tomatoes, leave some in larger chunks, some in smaller pieces for a less-uniformed appearance.
- Chop Red Onions, add to tomatoes. If using fresh herbs (best) chop fresh basil and oregano. Add to tomato mixture. Pour Red Wine Vinegar over tomato mixture, toss to blend. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Let stand for 1-2 hours to allow flavors to mature and fully marry.
- Arrange pork chops in a glass baking dish just large enough to hold the chops snugly, set aside.
- Pour relish into a strainer over a glass bowl. Let sit for 10 minutes or so to drain on its own. To complete the draining process and get as much liquid as possible for the pork chops, gently press relish to remove any remaining liquid without mashing tomatoes. Spoon or pour liquid over pork.
- Let pork chops marinate in liquid for about 40 minutes to an hour, turning occasionally.
- While pork is marinating, prepare barbecue grill to about medium-heat. Since the pork is cooked over the heat directly, you don’t want the grill to get so hot that the chops burn or dry out before they are fully cooked.
- When the fire is ready, grill pork until cooked through, about 6 to 8 minutes per side.
- Transfer pork chops to serving platter. Tent to keep warm and allow to rest for about 5 minutes. When ready to serve, spoon most of the relish over the pork chops, reserving some to pass table side. Serve and enjoy!
- Make relish and let sit for 1-2 hours for all the flavors to marry and mature.
- Drain liquid from relish into a bowl. This will become the marinade for the pork chops.
- Spoon or pour liquid from relish over chops. Cover and refrigerate for about 40 minutes.
- When ready, grill pork chops for about 8 minutes per side, depending upon thickness.
- Spoon relish over pork chops, serve and enjoy!
