Grilled Pork Chops with Balsamic Reduction


If you are looking for a simple dish to make that can also be elegant, this is a great option! The salt of the pork chops combines so well with the tangy sweetness of the balsamic reduction.

Ingredients:
4 pork chops
1 tablespoon ground coriander
2 teaspoons parsley flakes
1 teaspoon garlic powder
salt and pepper to taste

Balsamic reduction Ingredients:
16 ounces Balsamic Vinegar
1/4 cup Brown sugar
1 tablespoon Honey

Balsamic Reduction Directions:

It's best to start the reduction before the pork, it takes a little while to make it.
1)In a small pot place all ingredients.

2)Bring to a slow boil and let the liquid reduce to half or until it reaches a syrup consistency.

3)Once reduced, take it off the heat. The liquid will thicken as it cools.

To store just refrigerate, it will become extremely thick! You can warm it in the microwave for 10 seconds or place in a bowl of hot water. That will return it to a syrupy consistency again.

Directions for Pork Chops:

1)Mix coriander, parsley, and garlic powder together and season both sides of the chops, also season both sides with salt and pepper. You can place the pork chops in the refrigerator while you prepare your grill.

2)Once your grill is ready place chops on grill. For a 1 inch thick chop it will take about 5-7 minutes per side. This also is dependent upon the distance from the heat and the temperature of your fire.

3)Once the pork chops are finished you can either drizzle the balsamic reduction over top or place in a bowl and let everyone help themselves.

Try this dish with my great grandmother's creamy coleslaw recipe.
