Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 1 cup orange juice; 2 tablespoons olive oil; 3 cloves garlic, minced; 6 (6 ounce) boneless pork loin chops; 6 slices applewood smoked bacon; 6 fresh figs; 1 cup fresh mint leaves; 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar; 3 tablespoons olive oil; 1 tablespoon honey; 1/2 cup orange juice; 1 pinch sea salt and pepper to taste

Servings: persons

1 cup orange juice
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
6 (6 ounce) boneless pork loin chops
6 slices applewood smoked bacon
6 fresh figs
1 cup fresh mint leaves
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon honey
1/2 cup orange juice
1 pinch sea salt and pepper to taste

1
Whisk together 1 cup orange juice, 2 tablespoons olive oil, and the minced garlic in a bowl; pour into a resealable plastic bag. Add the pork chops, coat with the marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours.
2
Place the figs and mint leaves into a blender, and blend until pureed. Add the balsamic vinegar, 3 tablespoons olive oil, honey, and 1/2 cup orange juice to the blender, and puree until smooth and thick. Season to taste with sea salt and pepper, then set aside.
3
Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat, and lightly oil the grate. Remove the pork from the marinade. Discard the remaining marinade. Wrap each pork chop with a slice of bacon, securing with toothpicks as necessary; season with salt and pepper.
4
Grill the pork chops until the pork is no longer pink in the center, about 5 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Pour the mint-fig sauce over the pork chops to serve.
