Take 5 minutes in the morning to get these pork chops marinating so they're ready to grill the same night or even the next day.

4 servings, 1 chop & 1/4 cup relish each | Active Time: 30 minutes | Total Time: 2 1/2 hours (including 2 hours marinating time)

Ingredients

Teriyaki Pork Chops with Blueberry-Ginger Relish

• 4 bone-in center-cut pork chops, (about 1 3/4 pounds), trimmed of fat

Marinade

• 3 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons dry sherry, (see Ingredient Note)
• 2 cloves garlic, crushed
• 1 teaspoon brown sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper

Blueberry-Ginger Relish

• 1 cup fresh blueberries, coarsely chopped
• 1 shallot, chopped
• 1 serrano chile, seeded and minced
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
• 1 tablespoon lime juice
• 1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

Preparation

1. To marinate: Place pork chops in a large sealable plastic bag. Whisk soy sauce, sherry, garlic, brown sugar and crushed red pepper in a small bowl. Add the marinade to the bag, seal and turn to coat. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or overnight.
2. To prepare relish: About 20 minutes before grilling the pork, combine blueberries, shallot, chile, cilantro, lime juice, ginger and salt in a small bowl.
3. Preheat grill to high. Remove the pork chops from the marinade (discard marinade). Grill the chops 3 to 5 minutes per side. Let them rest for 5 minutes before serving with the relish.

Tips & Notes

• Make Ahead Tip: Marinate the pork (Step 1) for up to 1 day.

• Ingredient Note: The "cooking sherry" sold in many supermarkets can be surprisingly high in sodium. We prefer dry sherry, sold with other fortified wines in your wine or liquor store.
