Cherry Sauce:
- 1 c. sweet cherries, pitted and halved
- 1 tsp. olive oil
- 1 small shallot, minced
- 1/3 c. pomegranate juice
- 1 tsp. balsamic vinegar
- Salt & pepper
- Heat oil in small saucepan
- Saute minced shallot until softened
- Add cherries, pomegranate juice, and vinegar; cook until cherries soften and juice is reduced by about half
- Remove from heat, season with salt & pepper, and set aside until pork is finished
For the pork, I bought three center cut pork chops (they were maybe 1/4 to 1/3 of a pound each), rubbed them with salt, pepper, and a bit of thyme, and grilled them. There was more than enough sauce for the three chops.
The picture isn't the best; something about the combination of shiny sauce, the light, the white plate, and the camera flash just conspired against me. Oh well, you get the idea.
I enjoyed this. It was a little sweet and a little tart, and it paired well with my cherry rice pilaf.
