Four, 1-inch-thick pork chops
2 Tbsp EVOO
4 plums, halved and pitted
1 red onion, thickly sliced crosswise
Salt and Pepper to taste
2 tsp fresh lemon juice
1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
1 tsp red wine vinegar
Preheat grill to medium-high. Drizzle the olive oil on the pork chops, plums and onion; season with salt and pepper. Arrange on the grill and cook, turning once, until the plums and onions are softened and just charred; 6 to 8 minutes, and the pork chops are golden brown and cooked through; 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer the plums and onion to a medium bowl and cover tightly with foil; let stand for 10 minutes. Coarsely chop the plums and onions and return to the bowl. Stir in the lemon juice, ginger and vinegar; season with salt and pepper. Spoon over the pork chops and serve. Grilled squash and other veggies are a good side-dish for these chops.
Lemon Bars:
Crust:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup powdered sugar
Pinch of salt
1 cup butter, room temperature
Filling:
4 eggs
2 cups granulated sugar
6 Tbsp all purpose flour
6 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
Powered sugar for garnish
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a 13x9x2 inch pan. Make the crust: Combine the flour, powered sugar and salt in a large bowl. Cut in the butter to make a crumbly mixture. Press the mixture into the prepared pan. Dip your fingers into a little flour or powdered sugar to keep the dough from sticking to your fingers. Bake for 20 minutes. Meanwhile, make the filling: Mix the eggs, granulated sugar, flour and lemon juice in a large bowl. Pour the filling over the baked crust and bake for 25 minutes. When cool, sprinkle with powdered sugar, cut and serve.
