Pork Chops with Charred Jalapeño & Peach Puree Recipe

Abby Allen-Leach
This savory and sweet combination is best enjoyed outdoors with a cold beverage on a balmy summer evening. The puree is fantastic with a myriad of things - chicken, sandwiches, tacos, rice bowls, and so on.

Equipment

  • 1 Blender Food processor will work as well

Ingredients
  

Pork Chops

  • 4 pork loin chops
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp salt plus more as needed
  • pepper
  • cilantro (optional)

Charred Jalapeño & Peach Puree

  • 2 peaches make sure they are very ripe - remove/discard pit and cut peach into chunks
  • 2 jalapeños
  • 1 shallot medium in size, peeled and roughly chopped
  • 1 lime juice only
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp honey
  • 1 tsp salt plus more as needed

Instructions
 

Charred Jalapeño & Peach Puree

  • Heat oven to broil. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and broil jalapeños until they begin to char at around 7-9 minutes (keep an eye on them as they will take on color quickly as they begin to char and you don't want to burn them).

  • Set jalapeños aside until they're cool enough to handle. Carefully cut away seeds and stems and discard. Add jalapeño flesh to a small high powered blender or food processor with peeled and chopped shallot, peaches, lime juice, honey, olive oil and salt. Blend for 30-45 seconds or until puree is smooth. Season with more salt as needed.

Pork Chops

  • Prepare grill by cleaning the grates and heating to medium-high heat - ideally 400-450F. Brush pork chops with olive oil and season with salt and a few cracks of black pepper.

  • Grill pork chops directly over the heat, turning once halfway through, for about 10-12 minutes or until they reach 140F. They should have some beautiful grill marks on each side as well.
