Grilled Pork Chops with Peach and Jalapeño Salsa

I have never had a peach salsa, but let me tell you what - it's amazing!  I've been eating it by itself.  You have this spicy Tabasco sauce, jalapeno and crushed red peppers in it, but then you've got this sweet cilantro and then of course some peaches and onion.  The flavor is AMAZING!  Top off your grilled pork chops that have just been salted and peppered.  



Add a spinach salad as a side to keep it light and healthy - or do like I do most of the time and make it worthy of a country kitchen and serve it with smashed potatoes, cooked down green beans and a crusty roll.  


Either way, you're going to LOVE this recipe.  Have you given up on dry, tough pork chops?  Head to your nearest farm and get some local farm raised pork - you'll change your mind.  They cut with a butter knife.  Get yourself a meat thermometer, it's worth the investment.  Each year we raise pigs, and sell the meat locally to YOU!  I have pork chops left available as of today, so leave a comment below and I'll contact you with pricing! 



**If you can make the Peach salsa at least a few hours ahead of time - even the day before it gives it time for all of the flavors to combine and makes it so much more flavorful!  Here's what you'll need from the store or local farm.


Ingredients

  • 2 medium ripe peaches peeled, chopped
  • ¼ medium red onion choppped
  • 1 medium jalapeño pepper seeds and veins removed, chopped
  • ¼ tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
  • 2 Tbsp. fresh lime juice
  • ½ tsp. hot pepper sauce (like Tabasco®)
  • 2 Tbsp. finely chopped fresh cilantro
  • 4 raw center-cut pork chops lean, boneless
  • ¼ tsp. salt
  • ¼ tsp. ground black pepper


Here's how to pull it all together!  

Instructions

  1. Combine peaches, onion, jalapeño, red pepper flakes, lime juice, hot pepper sauce, and cilantro; mix well. Set aside.
  2. Preheat grill or broiler on high.
  3. Season pork chops with salt and pepper.
  4. Grill or broil  chops for 4 to 5 minutes on each side, or until desired doneness.
  5. Top pork chops evenly with salsa; serve immediately.


Enjoy!  Come back and let me know how you like it!  And, if you have any other great pork chop recipes I'd love to try them!
