Instructions
Step 1
1. Preheat a grill to medium. Brush the cut sides of the light-colored half of the leek with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Grill, covered and turning occasionally, until slightly charred and tender, about 8 minutes (reduce the heat or move the leek if it gets too dark). Transfer the grilled leek to a blender along with the roasted peppers, almonds, lemon juice, sugar, paprika, ½ teaspoon each salt and pepper and 2 tablespoons each olive oil and water. Puree until smooth.
Step 2
2. Wash the collards, leaving a lot of excess water on the leaves. Transfer to a large bowl and drizzle with the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil; season with salt and pepper and toss. Grill the collards and the dark green half of the leek, turning often, until wilted and slightly charred, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove to a cutting board and tent the collards and leek with foil to steam.
Step 3
3. Season the pork chops with salt and pepper. Grill until well marked and cooked through, about 4 minutes per side
Step 4
4. Thinly slice the collards and leek; toss together. Divide the red pepper sauce among plates and top with the greens and pork chops. Sprinkle with the chives.
