Pork Chop

Anson Mills Grits

Braised Collard Greens

Apple Glaze

Crispy Shallots

Method

Pork Chop

  1. 1

    Season and Grill

    Rub the pork chop with applewood smoked salt and black pepper. Heat olive oil in a grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the pork chop for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F. Let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Anson Mills Grits

  1. 2

    Prepare Grits

    In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Stir in the Anson Mills grits and salt. Reduce heat to low and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 20-25 minutes until creamy. Stir in the butter before serving.

Braised Collard Greens

  1. 3

    Sauté and Braise

    In a large pot, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté until translucent. Add minced garlic and red pepper flakes, cooking for an additional minute. Stir in the collard greens and chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 30-40 minutes until greens are tender.

Apple Glaze

  1. 4

    Make the Glaze

    In a small saucepan, combine apple juice, brown sugar, and apple cider vinegar. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook until the mixture reduces by half and thickens slightly, about 10-15 minutes. Set aside.

Crispy Shallots

  1. 5

    Fry Shallots

    Thinly slice the shallots and dust them with flour. In a deep skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium heat. Fry the shallots in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels. Season with salt.
