Grilled Rosemary Pork Chops and Balsamic Roasted Purple Potatoes


Both of these recipes turned out great!  Easy and delicious. We will definitely make them again!

Grilled Rosemary Pork Chops

Ingredients:
4 pork chops
salt and pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary

Directions:
Salt and pepper the chops.  Combine all the other ingredients in a resealable gallon plastic bag and add the chops, tossing to coat.  Let chops marinate in fridge for at least 4 hours.  Remove from fridge and bring to room temperature before grilling.  Grill over medium-high heat for about 8-10 minutes per side for thick-cut chops, or 4-5 minutes per side for thinner cuts.  Internal temp should be 145ºF.

Balsamic Roasted Purple Potatoes

Ingredients:
1 pound purple fingerling potatoes (or any color)
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
1/2 teaspoon coarse sea salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon chopped fresh chives

Directions:
Cut the potatoes lengthwise into quarters (or halves if they are small).  In a large bowl, toss the potatoes with the olive oil, vinegar, thyme, salt, and pepper.  Spread onto a rimmed baking sheet and roast at 400º for 30-40 minutes until cooked through, stirring occasionally.  Garnish with chives.
