Honey and balsamic vinegar are the sweet and sour agents in this recipe, which we featured alongside Anya von Bremzen's tribute to Rome, "Eternal Pleasures" (April 2010). These grilled pork chops pair well with stewed sweet peppers.

- 3 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1⁄3 cup balsamic vinegar
