Teriyaki Pork Chops with Blueberry-Ginger Relish Recipe

Teriyaki Pork Chops with Blueberry-Ginger Relish Recipe

  • 4 bone-in center-cut pork chops, trimmed of fat
  • Marinade:
  • 3 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons dry sherry (see Ingredient note)
  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 1 teaspoon brown sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
  • Blueberry-Ginger Relish:
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries, coarsely chopped
  • 1 shallot, chopped
  • 1 serrano chile, seeded and minced
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  1. To marinate: Place pork chops in a large sealable plastic bag. Whisk soy sauce, sherry, garlic, brown sugar and crushed red pepper in a small bowl. Add the marinade to the bag, seal and turn to coat. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or overnight.
  2. To prepare relish: About 20 minutes before grilling the pork, combine blueberries, shallot, chile, cilantro, lime juice, ginger and salt in a small bowl.
  3. Preheat grill to high. Remove the pork chops from the marinade (discard marinade). Grill the chops 3 to 5 minutes per side. Let them rest for 5 minutes before serving with the relish.
