Grilling pork chops on the Big Green Egg? It becomes even tastier if you add a homemade chutney, prepared on your EGG. This juicy meat with great grilling stripes for extra flavour and onion chutney with apple is a match made in heaven.
INGREDIENTS
PORK CHOPS
- 4 pork shoulder chops, approx. 2 cm thick
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- fleur de sel
CHUTNEY
- 2 cloves of garlic
- 3 tart apples such as Granny Smith
- 2 sweet onions
- 30 g unsalted butter
- 125 ml white wine vinegar
- 250 g brown sugar
- 2 tbsp hot mustard
- 10 sprigs of thyme
- mustard cress or other full-flavoured cress (optional)
In advance
- Ignite the charcoal in the Big Green Egg and heat, with the convEGGtor and the Cast Iron Grid, to 180°C.
- Peel and finely chop the garlic to prepare the chutney. Peel and chop the onions. Peel the apples, remove the cores and cut the fruit into cubes.
Method
- Place the Cast Iron Skillet on the Cast Iron Grid. Melt the butter in the pan and briefly fry the garlic.
- Add the apple cubes and the onions together with the white wine vinegar, the brown sugar, the mustard and thyme. Leave the chutney to simmer for approx. 40 minutes; stir every now and then, closing the lid of the EGG after each action.
- Take the skillet out of the EGG and remove the sprigs of thyme. Remove the grid and the convEGGtor and replace the grid. Heat the EGG to 230°C. Rub the pork shoulder chops with olive oil.
- Place the pork chops on the grid and grill for approx. 1 minute. Give the meat a quarter turn and grill again for 1 minute to create a nice grill pattern. Turn the pork chops over and grill again for 2 x 1 minute.
- Remove the pork chops from the EGG and cover loosely with aluminium foil. Leave to rest for 5 minutes at room temperature. Meanwhile, ladle the chutney into a jar or bowl and garnish with mustard cress, if so desired.
- Sprinkle black pepper and fleur de sel on the pork chops and serve with the apple-onion chutney from the Big Green Egg.
Tip
Combines well with a fresh salad with lamb’s lettuce, beetroot and horseradish, or something similar.
