GRILLED PORK CHOPS WITH PLUMS, HALLOUMI, AND LEMON



Grilled Pork Chops with Plums, Halloumi, and Lemon image

If you like feta, you should get to know Halloumi, a Cypriot cheese sold at Greek markets, specialty food stores, and some supermarkets. Smooth, oiled grill grates will keep the cheese from sticking. And keep a close eye on the plums as they cook; you want them to be soft and just slightly jammy, not mushy.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil, divided, plus more
1 tsp. honey
4 bone-in pork rib chops (about 1" thick), patted dry
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
4 ripe medium red or black plums (about 1 lb.), halved
1 lemon, halved, seeds removed
8 oz. Halloumi cheese, sliced into 1/2"-thick planks
2 Tbsp. torn oregano leaves
Aleppo-style pepper or crushed red pepper flakes (for serving)

Steps:

  • Prepare a grill for medium-high heat; oil grate. Combine honey and 2 Tbsp. oil in a large resealable plastic bag. Season pork chops generously with salt and pepper and add to bag. Seal, pressing out air, and massage chops to coat.
  • Place plums, lemon, and Halloumi on a rimmed baking sheet and drizzle with 2 Tbsp. oil; toss to coat. Season plums and lemon with salt, then season everything with pepper.
  • Grill pork over medium-high, turning occasionally with tongs and moving around if needed to prevent flare-ups, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center (about 1/2" from the bone) registers 130°F, 6-8 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, grill plums, lemon (cut side down), and Halloumi, turning plums and cheese once or twice, until grill marks appear and plums start to release their juices, about 4 minutes. Transfer plums, lemon, and Halloumi to cutting board with pork and let cool 1 minute. Slice each plum half into 3 wedges and tear Halloumi into 1" pieces.
  • Cut pork away from bone and slice 1/2" thick. Arrange meat on plates; discard bones. Spoon plums and Halloumi around and on top of meat, dividing evenly. Squeeze juice from grilled lemon over; season with more salt and pepper. Top with oregano, sprinkle with some Aleppo-style pepper, and drizzle with a little oil.

LEMON GRILLED HALLOUMI



Lemon Grilled Halloumi image

If you haven't tried grilled halloumi then you haven't lived -- it is truly one of the best culinary delights I've tasted in recent years. Hot and crispy on the outside but melted and lovely on the inside. The lemon is a nice finishing touch and helps to soften the salty taste of the cheese.

Time P1DT10m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 2

500 g halloumi cheese, cut into about 20 slices

  • Place the cheese in the bowl and pour in just enough water to cover the halloumi entirely.
  • Cover tightly and place in the fridge overnight.
