Method

For the Grilled Pork Loin

  1. 1

    Marinate the Pork

    In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, salt, and black pepper. Rub this mixture all over the pork loin. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best flavor.

  2. 2

    Grill the Pork

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove the pork loin from the marinade and place it on the grill. Cook for about 20-25 minutes, turning occasionally, until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Remove from grill and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

For the Cheddar Grits

  1. 3

    Cook the Grits

    In a large pot, bring water and salt to a boil. Slowly whisk in the grits. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally until thickened.

  2. 4

    Add Milk and Cheese

    Once the grits are cooked, stir in the milk, butter, and shredded cheddar cheese. Mix until creamy and smooth. Adjust seasoning with additional salt if necessary.

For the Apple and Sunchoke Salad

  1. 5

    Prepare the Salad

    In a large bowl, combine the thinly sliced sunchokes, apple, and chopped dandelion greens. In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper.

  2. 6

    Toss and Serve

    Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine. Serve immediately alongside the grilled pork loin and cheddar grits.
