Golden Peach Pork Chops Recipes

PEACHY PORK CHOPS

Steps:

PEACHY PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Preheat the grill to high.
• Slice the rind off the chops, score the fat side of it in a criss-cross fashion and place skin side up in a tray. Pop under the grill for 5 minutes to crisp up into crackling - keep an eye on it.
• Season the chops with sea salt and black pepper, score the remaining fat in a criss-cross fashion, then sit the chops together fat edges down in a large cold non-stick frying pan.
• Place on a high heat for 3 to 4 minutes, or until golden and the fat has rendered out, using tongs to ensure they're in good contact with the pan. Gently turn the chops on to their sides to cook for 5 minutes on each side.
• Meanwhile, peel and finely slice the garlic. Strip the rosemary leaves off the sprigs.
• Remove the chops to a plate, drain 90% of the fat from the pan into a jar to use for cooking another day, then sprinkle the garlic into the pan. Stir regularly until golden, then add the rosemary and four drained peach halves, flat side down.
• Jiggle over the heat until golden, then return the chops to the pan, add the bourbon and carefully set fire to it with a match (stand back!).
• Once the flames begin to subside, dish up with the crispy crackling.

PORK CHOPS WITH PEACH SAUCE

Steps:

• Cook the jam, ketchup, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce and 3 tablespoons water in a large skillet over medium-high heat, whisking, until thickened, about 5 minutes. Whisk in the vinegar, then the butter, a few pieces at a time; whisk in a few tablespoons water if the sauce is too thick. Remove from the heat and cover. Put the green beans in a microwave-safe bowl; sprinkle with water and season with salt and pepper. Cover with plastic wrap, pierce the plastic and microwave until tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Whisk 1 cup flour, the baking powder, 1/2 cup water, the egg white and the remaining 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce in a bowl; add a few more tablespoons water, if needed. Put the remaining 1/2 cup flour in a shallow dish. Heat 1/4 inch vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it reaches 375 degrees F on a deep-fry thermometer. Dredge the pork chops in the flour, then dip in the batter. Fry until golden, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels. Serve with the peach sauce and green beans.
