Ingredients

Pork Chops

4 bone-in pork chops about 8 ounces each
2 tablespoons neutral oil
kosher salt and pepper

Peach Salsa

4 ripe peaches, plums or nectarines pitted and cut into 1/4-inch dice
1 large tomato cut into 1/4-inch dice
1 medium red onion cut into 1/4-inch dice
1 jalapeño seeded and finely chopped
1/2 c chopped cilantro
1 juicy lime
2 tablespoons honey
kosher salt

Instructions

Pat the pork chops dry with a clean paper towel then lightly brush with oil and season generously with salt and pepper on all sides.
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high. Sear the pork chops on each side, turning frequently to develop a crust on all surfaces, about 10 minutes. Lower the heat and cook through, continuing to turn, about 15 to 20 minutes more or until they reach an internal temperature of 135-140F°. Transfer the pork chops to a large plate or platter, cover loosely with foil to rest.
To make the salsa, place the diced peaches, tomato, red onion, jalapeño and cilantro into a medium sized mixing bowl then add the lime juice, honey and a generous pinch of salt. Stir to combine. Taste and season with more lime juice honey, or salt as needed. Set aside.
Top the pork chop with the peach salsa. Serve warm.

Notes

Ingredient Substitutions:

Pork Chops: Start with the best quality pork chops you can find, thick cut, with lots of good marbling – bone-in or boneless chops both work equally well.
Jalapeño: You can adjust the spice level of this salsa to your liking. Use more or less jalapeño depending on level of heat in your peppers – it varies greatly.
Peaches, Plums or Nectarines: If you can’t find beautiful, ripe, delicious peaches go for nectarines, plums or even cherries! Any stone fruit can be swapped in. Go with whatever is the best quality at the market that day.
