JACQUES PEPIN'S GRILLED PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 180 degrees Fahrenheit.
• 2. Trim loin chops of excess fat and sinew.
• 3. Sprinkle both sides of the chops with the salt, pepper, and chopped rosemary--pat the seasoning so they adhere to the meat.
• 4. Pour the oil into a plate and dip the chops into the oil on all sides to coat lightly.
• 5. Set the grill over high heat and allow it to get quite hot.
• 6. Lay the chops at an angle to the ridges and cook for 2 minutes, until clearly marked. Turn them over, keeping the same angle, so the now visible marks align with the ridges. Cook for 2 minutes in this side. Turn the chops over again and now rotate them as well, so the visible marks are perpendicular to the ridges. Cook for 2 minutes, until a crisscross is clear. Turn the chops over for the third time, keeping them at the same angle. Cook for 2 minutes, so that the second side of the chops has been on the grill as long as the first side.
• 7. Finally, stand the chops on their outside edges, balanced against the potato half or other prop. Brown for about 2 minutes, shifting the chop as needed so the entire edge is browned. Remove the chops to a platter and place in the oven for about 10 minutes, to allow them to decontract. Garnish with a sprig of rosemary and serve.

• Relish can be made up to 8 hours in advance and stored, covered in refrigerator. Bring to room temperature before serving.
• For the balsamic reduction: Put the vinegar in a nonreactive (such as stainless steel) pan, bring to a boil and cook until reduced to 1/2 cup. Then stir in the honey, transfer to a bowl and let cool to room temperature; it will thicken as it cools.

PORK CHOPS IN CHERRY-PEPPER SAUCE

Steps:

• Make the sauce: Drain the cherry peppers, reserving 1 cup brine, then stem, halve, core and seed them. Place a large skillet over medium-high heat, and swirl the olive oil into it. When the oil begins to shimmer, add the garlic, and sauté, stirring frequently, until it begins to color, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the peppers, the reserved brine and the white wine, and bring to a boil over high heat. Cook until the liquid has reduced by slightly more than half, 10 to 15 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper, and remove from the heat. (The sauce can be made a few hours ahead of time.)
• When you're ready to cook the meat, season it aggressively with salt and pepper. Place a large, heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat, and swirl the neutral oil into it. When the oil begins to shimmer, place the meat in the pan, working in batches if needed, and sear until the meat has browned, formed something of a crust and cooked through to medium-rare, 5 to 6 minutes on each side. Transfer the chops to a warmed platter.
• Add the sauce to the large, heavy-bottomed skillet in which you seared the meat, and warm over medium-low heat. Whisk the butter into the sauce until evenly distributed and the sauce develops a velvety sheen. Spoon sauce over chops, and garnish with parsley.
