Pork Chop

Grilled Plums

Spinach and Pecans

Spiced Brie

Double Roasted Potatoes

Method

Brining the Pork Chops

  1. 1

    Brine Preparation

    In a large bowl, combine water, salt, black peppercorns, garlic cloves, and thyme. Stir until salt is dissolved.

  2. 2

    Brining

    Submerge the pork chops in the brine solution. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.

Plum Mostarda

  1. 3

    Cook the Plums

    In a saucepan, combine diced plums, sugar, white wine vinegar, and Dijon mustard. Cook over medium heat until plums are soft and mixture thickens, about 10 minutes. Let cool.

Grilling the Pork Chops

  1. 4

    Preheat Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

  2. 5

    Grill the Pork Chops

    Remove pork chops from brine and pat dry. Grill for 6-7 minutes per side or until internal temperature reaches 145°F. Let rest before serving.

Grilling the Plums

  1. 6

    Prepare Plums

    Toss halved plums with olive oil and salt. Grill for 2-3 minutes on each side until charred.

Cooking Spinach and Pecans

  1. 7

    Sauté Spinach

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add spinach, season with salt and pepper, and sauté until wilted, about 3-4 minutes.

  2. 8

    Add Pecans

    Stir in chopped pecans and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Remove from heat.

Preparing Spiced Brie

  1. 9

    Spice the Brie

    Sprinkle cinnamon and nutmeg on the brie cheese. You can warm it slightly in the oven for a gooey texture if desired.

Double Roasting Potatoes

  1. 10

    Roast First Time

    Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss halved baby potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast for 25-30 minutes until golden.

  2. 11

    Roast Second Time

    Remove from oven, toss, and return for another 15-20 minutes until crispy.

Serving

  1. 12

    Plate the Dish
