Instructions

  • 30 minutes before you're ready to start grilling take the pork chops out of the refrigerator and coat with a thin layer of olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
  • In a mixing bowl, toss together the sliced peaches, tomatoes, jalapeño, cilantro, shallot, honey, olive oil, lime juice and zest. Season with salt and then set aside.

Notes

 
FAQS:
  • What is the safe internal temperature of pork chops?
     Pork should be cooked to an internal temperature of 145F. But remember, meat continues to cook for a few minutes after it's removed from a heat source, in this case the grill. Insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the chop, when the temperature reads between 135-140F you can pull it off the grill and let it carry over to 145F.
  • Can I make grilled pork chops with a grill pan?
     Absolutely, you can grill pork chops on an indoor grill pan, gas or charcoal grill.
  • What should I serve with grilled pork chops?
     Keep it simple! Serve these grilled pork chops with a fresh salad or whipped Japanese sweet potatoes.
