    • 1 English cucumber, halved and thinly sliced
    • 1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
    • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
    • 1 tablespoon olive oil, plus more for grates

    • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
    • 4 pork shoulder or rib chops (8 ounces each and 1/2 inch thick)

Directions

  1. Combine cucumber, onion, lemon juice, oil, and sugar; season with salt and pepper. Let stand 10 minutes, then stir in dill.

Cook's Note

Pork shoulder chops are a great low-cost cut; you can also use boneless pork loin chops. Chicken cutlets are another good option.
