Low-Carb Grilled Pork Chops with Chive Cream - South Beach Diet Recipe (Phase 2)

Ingredients

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground white pepper
1 shallots, crushed
3 pounds pork chops (4 large chops)

CHIVE CREAM:
1 cup half-and-half
1/4 teaspoon lemon extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground white pepper
1/4 cup minced fresh chives

Directions
1 In a shallow pan, stir together oil, salt, pepper, and shallots. Place pork chops in pan, coat with marinade on both sides, and let rest for 15 to 30 minutes.
2 Chive Cream: In a small saucepan over medium heat, place half-and-half and lemon extract. Simmer until reduced by about one third; keep warm over low heat. Just before serving, season with salt and pepper, then stir chives into warm cream sauce.
3 Prepare a charcoal fire or preheat broiler. Place pork chops on grill or under broiler, about 4 inches from heat, and cook until browned on one side (about 4 minutes). Turn and cook second side until lightly browned and slightly firm. Serve chops immediately, drizzled with Chive Cream.
