Grilled Orange Soy Pork Chops with Fruit Chutney

Course: Main Course
Servings: 4 servings

Ingredients

For the Pork Chops

  • 4 medium boneless pork chops approximately 1" thick
  • 1 cup orange juice
  • 2 tbsp light soy sauce

For the Chutney

  • 1 tbsp canola oil
  • 2 medium apples, peeled, cored, and chopped about 2 cups
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 1/4 cup chopped dried cranberries
  • 1 tsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp finely minced ginger
  • 2-3 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup rice vinegar
  • 1/3 cup orange juice

Instructions

Marinate the pork chops

  • In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup orange juice and 2 tablespoons soy sauce.
  • Transfer to a large resealable bag and add pork chops.
  • Set aside in the refrigerator for 4 to 6 hours, turning occasionally.

Chutney

  • In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, warm oil.
  • Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, for 3 minutes.
  • Add apple, cranberries, and ginger and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes.
  • Stir in 1/3 cup orange juice, vinegar, brown sugar, 1 teaspoon soy sauce, and cinnamon.
  • Increase heat to medium-high and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook until liquid is almost entirely absorbed and apples are very tender, 30 to 40 minutes.
  • Set aside to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate if not serving chops within 2 hours.

Grill the pork chops

  • Prepare a grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
  • Remove pork from marinade; discard marinade.
  • Season pork with salt and pepper and grill pork until internal temperature reaches 145°F, about 4 1/2 minutes per side. Remove chops from grill and let rest 3 minutes.
