Ingredients

4 6-ounce boneless pork chops
1 tablespoon canola oil
1-2 tablespoons dry rub pork seasoning
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 pound medium size tomatoes (cut in half and then quartered (about 3 cups))
1 cup fresh Italian flat leaf parsley leaves (roughly chopped)
1/3 cup sliced red onion
1/4 cup capers
1 clove garlic (pressed or minced)
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/2 lemon
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup feta cheese

Steps:

Prepare the grill and clean grill grates for cooking over medium-high heat or about 350°F to 450°F.
Pat the pork chops dry with a paper towel and brush both sides evenly with olive oil. Generously season the pork chops with the dry rub and sprinkle the oregano evenly on each chop, patting into the meat on both sides. Rest for 5-10 minutes as the grill heats.
Meanwhile, prepare the tomato salad so the flavors can meld while the pork chops cook. Get the tomato salad recipe instructions here.
Grill the pork chops over direct heat, with the lid closed, until the pork chops are well-marked, for 8-12 minutes total, turning once. For juicy pork chops, the chops should still be barely pink in the middle and 140°F. Rest the chops for 5 minutes for the juices to set into the meat before cutting.
Serve the pork chops topped with the tomato salad and add chunks of feta cheese if desired.

Ingredients

2 pork chops (see notes)
as desired, salt and pepper
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp oregano
1/2 c cubed feta cheese
2 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp sliced black olives
splash of lemon juice

Season the pork chops with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and oregano. Season both sides.
Heat up a grill pan and oil the pan to prevent sticking.
Place the chops in the pan and try not to move them around much as possible except to flip. Grill over high heat to develop the grill marks on both sides, and then turn down the heat to medium-low to let them cook through to an internal temp of 145.
While the chops are grilling, in a bowl, mix together the cheese, black olives, oil and splash of lemon juice.
When the chops are finished grilling, let them rest for 3 minutes.
Upon serving, spoon the feta cheese mixture over the top of the chops. Enjoy!
