\nGrilled Lemon-Spinach Stuffed Pork Chops with Shaved Summer Squash & Tomato Salad<\/span><\/p>\n

Prep: 30 minutes
\nGrill: 12 minutes \u2022 Serves: 4<\/span> <\/p>\n

1 <\/span>garlic clove, minced
\n3 <\/span>tablespoons finely chopped shallot
\n1\/4 <\/span>cup olive oil
\n1 <\/span>bag (8 ounces) baby spinach
\n3\/4 <\/span>teaspoon lemon zest
\n1 <\/span>teaspoon salt
\n1\/2 <\/span>teaspoon ground black pepper
\n4 <\/span>boneless center-cut pork chops (about 2 pounds)
\n2 <\/span>tablespoons fresh lemon juice
\n1-1\/2 <\/span>teaspoons chopped fresh chives
\n1\/2 <\/span>teaspoon honey
\n1 <\/span>pinch crushed red pepper
\n2 <\/span>small yellow squash and\/or zucchini, thinly shaved with vegetable peeler
\n1 <\/span>cup halved grape tomatoes
\n1\/2 <\/span>cup whole milk ricotta cheese<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

1. <\/span>In large skillet, cook garlic and shallot in 2 teaspoons oil over medium heat 2 minutes or until softened, stirring occasionally. Stir in spinach and cook 2 minutes or until spinach is wilted; remove from heat. Stir in lemon zest, 1\/4 teaspoon salt and 1\/8 teaspoon black pepper; cool 5 minutes and coarsely chop.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

2. <\/span>Prepare outdoor grill for direct grilling over medium heat. With sharp knife, carefully cut a horizontal slit in thickest part of each pork chop to create a pocket; stuff each pork chop with about 2 tablespoons spinach mixture. Coat pork chops with 1 teaspoon oil; sprinkle with 1\/2 teaspoon salt and 1\/4 teaspoon black pepper. Place pork chops on hot grill rack; cover and cook 12 minutes or until internal temperature of pork chops reaches 145\u00b0, turning once halfway through cooking.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

3. <\/span>In medium bowl, whisk lemon juice, chives, honey, red pepper and remaining 1\/4 teaspoon salt and 1\/8 teaspoon black pepper; whisking constantly, drizzle in remaining 3 tablespoons oil until emulsified. Add squash and tomatoes; toss until well combined.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

4. <\/span>Serve pork chops with salad dolloped with cheese.
