Grilled Pork Chops with Plums, Halloumi, and Lemon

This vibrant grilled pork chops with plums and halloumi dish offers a sophisticated balance of sweet and savoury flavours. As the stone fruit hits the heat of the barbecue, it caramelises beautifully, providing a juicy contrast to the salty halloumi and tender pork. It is an excellent way to make the most of late-summer plums while sticking to a heart-healthy diet that prioritises lean proteins and fresh produce.

Perfect for a light weekend lunch or a quick midweek dinner, this recipe turns a simple tray of ingredients into a restaurant-quality meal. The addition of charred lemon and fresh oregano adds a bright, Mediterranean finish that ties the whole dish together. Serve it on its own for a low-carb option, or with a simple green salad and crusty sourdough to soak up the delicious juices.

Ingredients for Grilled Pork Chops with Plums, Halloumi, and Lemon

  • 60ml extra-virgin olive oil, divided, plus more

  • 1 cucharadita de miel

  • 4 bone-in pork rib chops (about 1" thick), patted dry

  • Sal kosher, pimienta recién molida

  • 4 ripe medium red or black plums (about 450g .), halved

  • 1 lemon, halved, seeds removed

  • 230g Halloumi cheese, sliced into 1/2"-thick planks

  • 2 tablespoons torn oregano leaves

  • Aleppo-style pepper or crushed red pepper flakes (for serving)

Prepare a grill for medium-high heat; oil grate. Combine honey and 2 tablespoons oil in a large resealable plastic bag. Season pork chops generously with salt and pepper and add to bag. Seal, pressing out air, and massage chops to coat.

Place plums, lemon, and Halloumi on a rimmed baking sheet and drizzle with 2 tablespoons oil; toss to coat. Season plums and lemon with salt, then season everything with pepper.

Grill pork over medium-high, turning occasionally with tongs and moving around if needed to prevent flare-ups, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the centre (about 1/2" from the bone) registers 54°C, 6–8 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, grill plums, lemon (cut side down), and Halloumi, turning plums and cheese once or twice, until grill marks appear and plums start to release their juices, about 4 minutes. Transfer plums, lemon, and Halloumi to cutting board with pork and let cool 1 minute. Slice each plum half into 3 wedges and tear Halloumi into 1" pieces.

Cut pork away from bone and slice 1/2" thick. Arrange meat on plates; discard bones. Spoon plums and Halloumi around and on top of meat, dividing evenly. Squeeze juice from grilled lemon over; season with more salt and pepper. Top with oregano, sprinkle with some Aleppo-style pepper, and drizzle with a little oil.
