Charred Lemon Shallot Chutney Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat grill to medium.
• Season the pork chops with salt, pepper and smoked paprika, to taste. Drizzle with olive oil and put on the hot grill. Grill for 4 to 5 minutes on each side achieving slight char. Transfer to a platter, top with Lemon Shallot Chutney and serve.
• In a small bowl, mix together the lemon sections, shallots, tarragon, chives, olive oil, sugar, and salt and pepper, to taste. Set aside.

Steps:

• Peel shallots and halve lengthwise through root end. Peel onion and cut into 2-inch chunks. Thread shallots and onion chunks onto metal or pre-soaked bamboo skewers. Thread garlic cloves onto a separate skewer. (If you're using the oven, skip skewering and see note on how to prepare the vegetables.)
• Light or heat one side of grill. Leave the other side bare for indirect grilling. (If using a charcoal grill, mound coals to one side.) Lightly brush skewers with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and place over bare side of the grill for indirect heat. Cover and cook, turning occasionally, until the garlic is soft, 30 to 35 minutes.
• When the garlic is soft, remove from grill or oven. Transfer onion and shallot to the hottest part of the grill (add more coals if necessary) and continue cooking, turning occasionally, until onions are almost tender and well charred in spots, 15 to 20 minutes more.
• When cool enough to handle, coarsely chop onion and shallot and place in a large bowl. Mash garlic and add to bowl. Toss in remaining 4 tablespoons oil, the chopped parsley and mint, the preserved lemon, the lemon juice and the salt and pepper. Taste and add more salt, olive oil and/or lemon juice as needed. This mixture should be highly seasoned.
• Spread labneh or yogurt on a large platter. Spoon onion mixture over surface. Drizzle with additional oil, and tear mint and parsley leaves and scatter over top. Sprinkle with sumac. Serve with grilled pita.
