Ingredients

  • 1 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2/3 cup sherry wine vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 4 tablespoons chopped fresh basil leaves
  • 3 tablespoons minced garlic
  • 2 tablespoons minced shallots
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro leaves
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano leaves
  • 1 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves
  • 1 jalapeno
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1 1/4 teaspoons freshly cracked black pepper
  • 4 (12-ounce) double-cut pork chops
  • 4 pieces grilled crusty bread

Directions

In the bowl of a food processor, combine the olive oil, sherry vinegar, lemon juice, basil, garlic, shallots, cilantro, oregano, parsley, jalapeno and crushed red pepper. Pulse until well blended but do not puree. Add 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of the black pepper. Remove 1 cup of the chimichurri sauce from the processor and transfer to a non-reactive bowl, cover with plastic wrap and reserve at room temperature for up to 2 hours. If cooking pork another day, refrigerate sauce and return to room temperature before serving.

Season the pork chops on both sides with the remaining 2 teaspoons of the kosher salt and the remaining teaspoon of the black pepper and place in a large, resealable plastic food storage bag. Add the remaining chimichurri sauce from the processor. Seal bag and refrigerate the pork chops for at least 2 and up to 4 hours.

Preheat a grill to medium.

Once the pork chops have finished marinating, remove them from the refrigerator and let them come to room temperature for 45 minutes. Brush the excess chimichurri sauce off the chops and set the chops over the hot grill. Cook for 7 to 8 minutes on the first side. Turn the chops over and continue to cook until they are done, another 7 to 8 minutes.

Once cooked through, serve the chops with the crusty bread and pour 1/4 cup of the reserved chimichurri sauce over each chop before serving.

    Made this recipe over the weekend and the pork chops were amazing. Did not make the grilled crusty bread. My pork chops were bone in, fairly thick. Marinated them for 5 hours and they were moist and very flavorful when grilled. Would definitely make again. Might try marinating even longer if time allows.

    I thought these chops were "okay" at best. The chimichurri seemed pretty bland, despite using fresh herbs and a big jalapeno, both out of the garden. Chops took a bit longer to cook than stated but that may have been my grill or the thickness of the meat. If I were to do this again I would use another jalapeno and double the red pepper, salt & pepper to kick it up a notch. But I found the whole thing underwhelming. My husband loved them- otherwise I would have given 2 stars. The grilled crusty bread was awesome- glad it was included in this recipe because I wouldn't have thought of it but it'll be terrific with a lot of meals!

    I have made this many times and my family loves it. The recipe calls for bread, but we love it with rice. Recently made it with chicken and it worked wonderfully. A friend served her's over mixed greens and loved it. I can't wait to try it that way.
