Instructions

Toast aniseed in a dry small skillet over medium heat, tossing often, until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
Let cool; coarsely grind in spice mill or with mortar and pestle.
Season pork chops all over with salt and pepper; sprinkle with aniseed and red pepper flakes.
Let sit at room temperature 30 minutes.
Prepare a grill for medium-high heat; brush grate with oil.
Grill chops, moving around on grate to avoid flare-ups, until deep golden brown on both sides and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 140°F, 8–10 minutes.
Transfer chops to a plate and let rest 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, whisk lemon juice, anchovy, and 2 Tbsp. oil in a medium bowl to combine.
Add radishes and parsley and toss to coat.
Toss scallions on a rimmed baking sheet with remaining 1 Tbsp. oil; season with salt and pepper.
Grill scallions directly on grate, turning once, until lightly charred, about 2 minutes.
Transfer scallions to a platter, set pork chops on top, and scatter radish salad over.
