Grilled Pork Chops with Caramelized Grapefruit
Total time: 30 to 60 minutes

Preparation time: 15 minutes
Cooking time: 20 minutes
 

 
Difficulty: Easy
Chef's Note

The sweet mild taste of California grapefruit wonderfully enhances the flavors of the pork.

Ingredients
For 4 servings

- 4 pork chops
- 1 Tbsp. sunflower oil

Grapefruit
- 2 large pink grapefruits
- 1 lemon
- 80 ml (1/3 cup) red wine
- 150 g (3/4 cup) brown sugar

Sweet Potatoes
- 1 kg (2 1/4 lb.) sweet potatoes
- 1 bunch fresh thyme
- salt
Method
  1. Cook the cubed sweet potatoes in boiling salted water; add the thyme and cook 20 minutes.
  2. Peel the grapefruit, removing all the white pith, and separate the sections.
  3. Melt the sugar over very low heat, stirring often, until caramelized.
  4. Add the wine, grapefruit sections and lemon juice and simmer for 2 minutes uncovered. The fruit should darken lightly and the syrup thicken.
  5. Brown the pork chops in a little oil for 5-6 minutes on each side.

Serve the pork chops with the caramelized grapefruit and the mashed sweet potato.
