Grilled Pork Chops with Balsamic Blackberry Sauce

September 4, 2014 · by Ari · 6 Comments

Perfectly grilled pork chops smothered with a sweet and simple balsamic blackberry sauce. This dinner looks so impressive, you’d never guess how easy it is! Healthy, paleo, and Whole 30 friendly!

I’m so conflicted. I want to eat pumpkin and apples, and wake up in the morning to a crisp breeze, and see leaves change color! Okay, so I live in Phoenix and the leaves are never going to change color, but a girl can dream.

Okay, so I’m conflicted because I really really want all of those things. And today it was 108*. I got into my car after work and my car said 117! Yikes. Also, I feel like it’s still technically summer, and I still want to soak up grilling season and fresh berries.

Also, this dish was the bomb. Yes, I just said the bomb. I’m stuck in 1999 or something. I tried to make something similar a few months ago, but I pounded out the pork chops really thin, and rolled them up, and then baked them. They looked like…crepes gone wrong… They still tasted delicious, but I couldn’t get over the fact that they looked like breakfast.

The good news? This way is so much easier! Seriously, my husband grilled up the pork while I made the sauce and we had dinner in under 30 minutes. It looks so fancy, but it couldn’t be more simple — win, win.

    […] 13. Grilled Pork Chops with Balsamic Blackberry Sauce The balsamic blackberry sauce on these grilled pork chops is reason enough to try this recipe. It’s loaded with flavor thanks to the balsamic vinegar, and the blackberries add antioxidants to the meal. She recommends using organic blackberries, which is a good idea since berries soak up so many pesticides and chemicals when conventionally grown. Anytime you top a pork chop with a fruity sauce like this one you are getting a good mix of savory and sweet which works well. […]
