Instructions
Mince garlic and mash to a paste with 1 teaspoon salt using a large heavy knife, then stir together garlic paste, rosemary, pepper, and 1 tablespoon oil in a small bowl. Pat pork dry and rub all over with paste. Marinate, uncovered, at room temperature 20 minutes.
While pork marinates, prepare grill for cooking. If using a charcoal grill, open vents on bottom of grill, then light charcoal. Charcoal fire is medium-hot when you can hold your hand 5 inches above rack for 3 to 4 seconds. If using a gas grill, preheat burners on high, covered, 10 minutes, then reduce heat to moderate.
While grill is heating, set a box grater into a shallow dish, then rub cut sides of tomatoes against large teardrop-shaped holes to remove as much tomato pulp as possible (discard skins). Boil tomato pulp, sugar, red pepper flakes, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt in a 4-quart heavy pot, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until reduced to about 1 1/2 cups, 15 to 20 minutes.
Transfer tomato jam to a bowl set in a larger bowl of ice and cold water and cool to room temperature, stirring.
Brush both sides of endive halves with remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons oil and season with salt. Grill pork and endives on lightly oiled grill rack, turning over occasionally, until thermometer inserted diagonally into center of pork registers 150°F and endives are tender, 8 to 10 minutes.
Transfer pork to a cutting board and let stand 5 minutes. (Internal temperature will rise to about 155°F while standing.)
Serve pork with endives and tomato chile jam.
• If you aren't able to grill outdoors, you can use a hot lightly oiled well-seasoned large ridged grill pan. Grill the pork first, then the endives, both over moderately high heat.• You can substitute 1 (28- to 32-ounce) can whole tomatoes in juice (not drained) for plum tomatoes. Break up canned tomatoes with a spoon while boiling.
