Spinach Salad With Grilled Pork And Nectarines Recipes

GRILLED PORK WITH NECTARINES

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium high. Bring the vinegar, sugar, mustard and lemon zest to a simmer in a medium saucepan. Cook, whisking occasionally, until syrupy, about 3 minutes. Add the nectarines and cook until just softened, 3 to 5 minutes; keep warm over low heat.
• Meanwhile, toss the fennel and red onion with the olive oil in a large bowl; season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Brush the grill grates with olive oil. Grill the vegetables (with the fennel perpendicular to the grates to keep them from falling into the grill, or use a grill basket), flipping, until marked and crisp-tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl. Add the lemon juice and parsley; toss to combine.
• Season the pork chops with salt and pepper. Brush the grill grates with more olive oil. Grill the pork until marked and just cooked through, about 4 minutes per side. Serve with the nectarines (discard the lemon zest) and the fennel-onion mixture.

• Prepare the pork: Pound the meat between 2 pieces of plastic wrap with a heavy skillet or mallet until thin. Crack the egg into a shallow bowl and add a touch of cold water; whisk to blend. Put the flour in a separate shallow bowl. Combine the breadcrumbs and parmesan in a third bowl; season with salt and pepper. Dip each slice of pork in the flour, then the egg, then the breadcrumb mixture, turning to coat. Place in a single layer on a baking sheet; set aside.
• Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Remove from the heat and add the pork slices in a single layer. Return to the heat and cook until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons vegetable oil and flip the pork; cook 2 to 3 more minutes, or until cooked through. Transfer to paper towels to drain; slice into strips.
• Make the salad: Wipe out the skillet. Add the olive oil and tomatoes and increase the heat to high. Season with salt, add the red pepper flakes and cook until the tomatoes blister, 1 to 2 minutes; stir in the basil and lemon juice. Place half of the spinach in a medium bowl. Pour the tomatoes and any pan juices over the spinach and toss to wilt slightly; taste for seasoning. Toss with the remaining spinach. Divide among plates and top with the pork. Serve immediately.
