The flavors of pork, sundried tomatoes, capers and Italian seasoning mingle together in foil packets on the grill. Served with garlic-flavored orzo for an easy, delicious meal with little cleanup.

Foil-Pack Mediterranean Pork Chops

Cook orzo in boiling water for 12 to 14 minutes or until al dente. Drain well; toss with ¼ cup garlic flavored olive oil. Set aside and keep warm. 

Meanwhile, preheat a charcoal or gas grill for direct cooking over medium-high heat (375 degrees).*

To assemble packets, cut 6 (18x12-in.) sheets of heavy foil. Place sundried tomatoes and capers on center of each sheet of foil. Place pork chops on top. Drizzle with remaining ¼ cup olive oil; sprinkle with Italian seasoning. 

Bring up long sides of foil. Double-fold top, then double-fold ends to seal packets, leaving room for heat circulation inside. Grill packets for 5 minutes. Move packets to different areas on grill rack to cook evenly. Grill for 5 to 10 minutes more or until pork chops reach 145 degrees. 

To serve, divide orzo among 6 serving plates. Top with pork chops and juices from packets. Season with salt, to taste.
*To cook in oven: Place foil packets on a large baking sheet; bake at 375 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes or until pork chops reach 145 degrees.
