It’s the perfect example of a dish whose appearance is deceiving. Surprisingly enough, the protein-packed meal is actually super easy to create.
Ingredients
- 4 Pork Chops (bone-in, about 1-inch thick each)
- 1 tsp Kosher or Sea Salt (divided)
- 1 tsp Black Pepper (divided)
- 1 bunch Asparagus (woody bottoms removed)
- 1 cup Cherry Tomatoes
- 3 tbsp Extra-Virgin Olive Oil (divided)
- 1/4 cup Pesto (clean eating, store bought or homemade)
- 4 medium Bamboo Skewers (soaked for 20 minutes in warm water, or metal skewers)
- 1/4 cup Basil Leaves for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Rub pork chops with 2 tablespoons olive oil and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper on both sides. Cover and allow to sit at room temperature for 20 minutes.
- Oil the grate of a grill and set to medium heat. Add chops and grill for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through. Internal temperature taken with a meat thermometer should read 145 to 160 degrees.
- Toss the asparagus in 1/2 tablespoon olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Add alongside the pork chops, after the chops have cooked for 15 minutes.
- Thread cherry tomatoes onto skewers and drizzle with 1/2 tablespoon oil and sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon of salt and pepper.
- Grill asparagus and tomatoes for about 5 minutes, until asparagus is slightly tender and tomato skins have blackened a bit in places. After removing pork chops from grill, allow to rest 5 minutes before serving.
- Cover veggies until ready to serve. Tomatoes may be served on skewers or removed from skewers.
- Serve asparagus and tomatoes alongside pork chops and drizzle with pesto.
- Enjoy!
