Grilled Pork Chops With Peaches And Pole Beans Recipes

GRILLED PORK CHOPS WITH PEACHES AND POLE BEANS

Steps:

• Combine 1/2 cup olive oil and vegetable oil in a measuring cup. Combine 2 tablespoons marjoram, Dijon mustard, garlic, and vinegar in a medium bowl. Slowly whisk oil mixture into herb mixture until creamy. Season to taste with pepper. Transfer about 1/4 cup dressing to a small bowl; cover and chill.
• Season pork chops with 4 teaspoons salt. Transfer to a resealable plastic bag; pour remaining dressing over, spreading evenly to distribute. Seal bag; chill for at least 4 hours and up to 24 hours.
• Cook beans in a large pot of boiling salted water, stirring occasionally, until crisp-tender, 3-5 minutes. Drain; transfer to a large bowl of ice water to chill. Drain beans; pat dry. Transfer beans, remaining 1 tablespoon marjoram, and shallot to a medium bowl; toss with enough reserved dressing to coat and season with salt and pepper.
• Build a medium fire in a charcoal grill, or heat a gas grill to medium-high. Remove pork chops from bag, scraping off excess dressing. Grill chops, turning occasionally on all sides, until browned and cooked through, about 20 minutes total. (Be sure to cook thick chops on the edges, too, and melt the thin strips of white fat; they'll cook more evenly.)
• Place peaches in a medium bowl; drizzle with some olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Toss to coat. Grill peaches, cut side down, until they begin to soften and char, 4-6 minutes. Transfer pork and peaches to a cutting board; let pork rest for 10 minutes.
• Slice peaches. Carve bones from pork and thinly slice meat. Serve pork and peaches with bean salad.

GRILLED PROSCIUTTO-WRAPPED PORK CHOPS WITH PEACHES

Steps:

• Remove the pork chops from the refrigerator and let sit at room temperature for 10 minutes. Prepare a gas grill or grill pan for medium-high heat and oil the grill grates.
• Pat the pork chops dry and season both sides with salt and pepper. Set aside.
• Combine 1/4 cup oil, the zest and juice of 1 lime, 1 tablespoon thyme and 1 tablespoon honey in a large resealable plastic bag. Add the pork chops, press out any air, seal and massage to make sure the chops are well coated. Set aside.
• Pit and slice each peach into eight wedges. Combine the peaches and the remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper, toss to coat and set aside.
• Remove the pork from the marinade. Carefully wrap 1 slice of prosciutto around each pork chop. Spoon some of the marinade over the prosciutto, handling it delicately to keep the prosciutto intact. Place the pork on the grill, seam-side up, and lower the heat to medium. Cook, flipping the chops once, until the prosciutto is crisp and the pork reaches an internal temperature of 130 to 135 degrees F, about 4 minutes per side. Make sure to turn the pork so all sides crisp evenly.
• Transfer the chops to a clean, rimmed baking sheet to rest. It is important for the pork to rest at least 5 minutes and up to 10 minutes to make sure the juices evenly redistribute and the pork finishes cooking.
• While the pork rests, add the peaches to the grill, reserving the liquid in the bowl, and cook, flipping once, until grill marks form and the peaches have softened slightly, 2 to 4 minutes per side.
• Meanwhile, combine the remaining zest and juice of 1 lime, remaining 1 teaspoon honey and 1 teaspoon pepperoncini pickling liquid to the bowl containing the peach juice. Whisk with a fork.
• Add the sliced pepperoncini and toss to combine. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper. Add the grilled peaches and toss to coat.
• Put the pork chops on a serving tray and top with the grilled peach mixture. Drizzle the sauce over the pork and peaches and garnish with the remaining thyme. Serve immediately.

GRILLED PORK CHOPS WITH PEACHES (WW)

Steps:

• Spray the grill racks with Pam and preheat grill to medium high.
• Prepare herb rub by mixing together first 6 ingredients (orange zest - pepper) in a small cup or bowl until mixture forms a paste. Rub pork chops with mixture.
• Place chops on grill and grill until pork chops are done (160-degrees F if using a meat thermometer) about 5-10 minutes per side depending on the thickness of your chops and desired doneness. Transfer to a platter and keep warm.
• Meanwhile spray the cut sides of the peaches (or nectarines - see note in description) with Pam. Place cut side down on grill, turning until tender and marked with grill lines (4-5 minutes per side -- I put my peach halves on the grill while the pork chops were cooking (after I turned the chops over) so everything was done at the same time.).

GRILLED PORK CHOPS WITH PEACHES

Steps:

• Whisk vinegar, 4 tbsp oil, shallot, 1/4 tsp salt and a pinch of pepper in a small bowl.
• Rub pork chops with 1 tbsp oil, salt and pepper. Brush peaches with oil, salt and pepper. Season radicchio with oil, salt and pepper.
• Heat grill pan to medium high and cook chops three minutes on each side. Lower heat to medium low and cook four to six minutes more until done. Remove.
• Caramelize peaches three to four minutes on each side. Remove.
• Cook radicchio, turning every minute or so until edges brown slightly, but lettuce remains firm.
• Arrange chops, peaches and radicchio on serving platter (or individual dishes) and pour vinaigrette over all. Serve immediately.

GRILLED PORK AND PEACHES

Steps:

• Light a fire in a fire pit with a grill, or in a charcoal grill, or set a gas grill to high. If you have a very strong vent in your kitchen, you may use your stove with a burner set to high. Place a large cast-iron pan or two-burner griddle over the heat and allow it to get hot. At this point you can let the fire die slightly with no ill effect. If using a gas grill or stove, turn heat to medium.
• Meanwhile, put the pork on a work surface and, using a meat mallet, pound to an even thickness of approximately 3/4 of an inch.
• Combine the garlic, rosemary and 6 tablespoons olive oil in a small bowl, mixing to make a rough paste. Season the pork aggressively on both sides with salt and pepper, then spread half the garlic mixture over one side and half on the other side.
• Brush the pan or griddle with the remaining olive oil, allow it to heat until it shimmers and is almost smoking, then place meat on the hot surface and cook, without touching, until it forms a good crust, approximately 10 minutes.
• While the meat cooks, surround it with the peaches, cut side down, and dot the fruit with the butter. (If you're using two cast-iron skillets, place the peaches in their own oiled pan.) Let them cook for approximately 5 minutes, or until they are soft and slightly charred. Transfer to a platter and tent with foil to keep warm.
• When the meat is well browned on the first side, use tongs to turn it over, and cook in the remaining butter for another 5 to 7 minutes. Remove the meat to a carving board and allow it to rest below a tent of foil for approximately 5 minutes. Slice the meat and serve with the peaches.
