Grilled Pork Paillards image

Paillards are simply pork chops (or chicken cutlets) that have been pounded to a uniform thickness for even cooking; because they are so thin, the pieces cook very quickly. The pork can also be cooked on a grill pan; heat the pan over medium-high for five minutes before adding paillards.

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 boneless pork chops (each 6 ounces and about 3/4 inch thick)
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
Fresh basil
Halved or quartered cherry tomatoes

  • Place a pork chop between two layers of plastic wrap on work surface. Using a meat pounder, pound to 1/4-inch thickness. Repeat with remaining pork chops. Transfer to a large resealable plastic bag or nonmetal container. Add balsamic vinegar and oil. Marinate, covered, in the refrigerator 15 minutes.
