Pork Chop

Confited Escarole

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cherry-Balsamic Glaze

    In a saucepan, combine fresh cherries, balsamic vinegar, and honey. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cook until the mixture reduces and thickens, about 15 minutes. Set aside to cool.

  2. 2

    Confiting Escarole

    In a large skillet, heat 4 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant. Add chopped escarole, vegetable broth, salt, and black pepper. Cover and cook on low heat for about 15-20 minutes until the escarole is tender.

  3. 3

    Roasted Cherry Jus

    In a saucepan, combine fresh cherries, stock, red wine, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and let simmer until reduced by half, about 20 minutes. Strain and reserve the liquid.

Cooking the Pork Chops

  1. 4

    Grilling the Pork Chops

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Season the Berkshire pork chops with salt, black pepper, and olive oil. Grill the pork chops for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).

Assembly

  1. 5

    Plate the Dish

    On each plate, place a portion of confited escarole, followed by a serving of white beans. Top with the grilled pork chop and drizzle the cherry-balsamic glaze over the top. Finish with a spoonful of roasted cherry jus around the plate for added flavor.
