Summer is in the air and that means it is time to fire up the grill! This recipe comes to us from our good friend, Chef Jason Rivas, one of Temecula’s brightest culinary minds. Chef J has 20 years of experience honing his craft, has received numerous awards and certifications, has worked alongside 2 Michelin Star Chef Dominique Crenn, and is a level 1 Sommelier! Chef’s philosophy of local, fresh, seasonal, and sustainable food has been showcased in his Temecula-area pop-up dining experience called “dinner by JR.” With our summer wine club selection in mind, Chef J has created this dish to pair beautifully with all three wines. Bon appetit!

To prepare:
- Heat your BBQ, and remove the pork from the cooler to bring it up to room temperature. Place the pork on a tray and season with salt and pepper.
- Place each pork piece on a medium-hot area of the grill. Let cook for about 2 minutes, then turn the pork onto its side and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Repeat this for the remaining 2 sides. This should produce a medium cooked pork (pink on the inside). Cook a little more or less as desired.
- Remove the pork from the grill and let rest for 2-3 minutes before cutting. This will help to retain its moisture.
- Cut the pork into 3 pieces and serve with your favorite accompaniment. Stir the relish and top your dish!
It would be wonderful to have wine dinners with pairings. Any plans?
Yes! We are working on a winemaker’s dinner to take place in September. Check back in the next week or two for details!
