Tarragon and Figs

My herb garden has chives, tarragon, mint and oregano as perennials. The tarragon is extremely happy with its spot and grows like crazy. With so much tarragon, what's a girl to do? Happily, Mom was able to offer a suggestion: grill some pork chops with tarragon sprigs on top. They output a subtle flavor that works well with pork.

Here, we grilled 1.5" thick chops for 10 mins a side at 400 degrees, seasoned with olive oil, salt and pepper -- plus, those aforementioned tarragon sprigs. The grocery store had figs on sale this week, so we grilled those as well for a few minutes. Served with a side salad, it was delicious!
