Grilled Pork Chops with Chimichurri

We've paired this succulent pork with a simple, mild chimichurri (fresh herb sauce) that complements without overwhelming. This recipe makes enough sauce that you'll have some leftover; try it on potatoes, grilled vegetables or eggs.

Method

For the chimichurri sauce, combine all ingredients in a food processor with 1 tablespoon water. Process until blended; set aside.


Prepare a grill for medium-heat cooking, leaving one area of the grill cool (this will be a place to transfer the chops if they flare up). 


Brush chops all over with oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. 


Grill, turning once or twice, until just cooked through, about 15 minutes. 


Watch the chops carefully, and move them to the cool area of the grill if they flare up or brown too quickly. 


Let rest 5 minutes; serve with the chimichurri on the side.
