A Mess of Pork Chops with Dijon Dressing


This dish incorporates staple flavors of southern French cooking: allspice, thyme and Dijon mustard.
Yield: 8
Cook Time: 30 minutes plus overnight marinating
Ingredients
  • 20 pork chops, 1/2 inch thick
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon ground allspice
  • 1 bunch fresh thyme
  • 1 tablespoon grapeseed oil, plus oil for grill
  • 1/3 cup thinly sliced shallots
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine
Directions
Season chops on both sides with salt, pepper and allspice. Place thyme sprigs on each. Reserve 1 tablespoon thyme leaves. Put chops in a large bowl or container, making layers, cover and refrigerate overnight.

Remove chops from refrigerator. Heat grill and brush grates with oil. While grill is heating, heat tablespoon of oil in a skillet, add shallots and sauté until tender and starting to brown. Stir in mustard, soy sauce, lemon juice and wine. Bring to a simmer. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in thyme leaves. Set aside.

Grill chops—with thyme sprigs still stuck to them—just a few minutes a side until lightly browned, in more than one shift if needed, depending on size of your grill. Pile them on a platter. Warm sauce and serve alongside.
