This grilled pork and peaches recipe is a perfect blend of sweet and savory flavors, and it's sure to be a hit at your next summer cookout. The pork chops are marinated in a mixture of brown sugar, garlic, and thyme, then grilled to perfection. The peaches are grilled as well, until they're slightly caramelized and juicy.

This recipe is also incredibly versatile. If you don't have pork chops, you can use chicken or tofu instead. And if you don't have peaches, you can use other fruits like pineapple, mango, or watermelon. The balsamic reduction can also be replaced with a simple glaze made from honey or maple syrup.

**Additional Tips:**

* For the best flavor, use fresh peaches that are ripe but not too soft.
* If you're using wooden skewers, be sure to soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before using them. This will help prevent them from burning.
* Grill the pork chops and peaches over medium heat. This will help them cook evenly without burning.
* Serve the grilled pork and peaches immediately, topped with the balsamic reduction.

GRILLED PORK AND PEACHES



Grilled Pork and Peaches image

Here is a simple dinner you could cook on a pancake griddle set on the grate above a fire pit or grill in someone's backyard, as if performing a magic trick. The result is a plate of thick, luscious pork with a deep, burnished crust, redolent of garlic and rosemary, and a sunset of soft, smoky peaches nutty with brown butter. The technique is what Francis Mallmann, the Latin American chef who developed the recipe and is its most refined and stylish practitioner, calls "the uncertain edge of burnt." It requires patience and keen observation. What you are looking for on the edges of the meat and fruit is color: a deep, dark brown that is almost black - a black without bitter, a burn that is not burned.

Time 55m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

Boneless pork butt, approximately 2 pounds, butterflied and trimmed
8 to 10 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
2 tablespoons minced fresh rosemary needles
8 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
6 fresh peaches, skin on, cut in half and pitted
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into dice

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.

Yield Makes 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 cup olive oil plus more for drizzling
1/2 cup vegetable oil
3 tablespoons chopped fresh marjoram, divided
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons minced garlic
1/4 cup white wine vinegar
Freshly cracked black pepper
4 1 1/2"-thick bone-in pork chops (about 1 pound each)
4 teaspoon kosher salt plus more
8 cups (1 1/4 pounds) pole beans (such as Romano, haricots verts, yellow wax, or green beans), trimmed
1/2 cup thinly sliced shallot rings
3-4 semi-ripe peaches, halved, pitted

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.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Pork Chops: Select thick-cut bone-in pork chops for grilling, as they will stay moist and juicy during cooking.
  • Marinate the Pork Chops: Marinating the pork chops in a flavorful mixture of olive oil, garlic, herbs, and spices tenderizes and infuses them with extra flavor.
  • Grill the Pork Chops Over Medium Heat: Grilling the pork chops over medium heat prevents them from burning and allows them to cook evenly throughout.
  • Use a Meat Thermometer: Insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the pork chop to ensure it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F for medium-rare or 160°F for medium.
  • Let the Pork Chops Rest: Allow the pork chops to rest for a few minutes before serving, as this helps the juices redistribute and results in a more tender and flavorful bite.
  • Pair the Pork Chops with Grilled Peaches: Grilling peaches brings out their natural sweetness and complements the savory flavors of the pork chops.

Conclusion:

This grilled pork and peaches recipe offers a delightful combination of sweet and savory flavors, perfect for a summer cookout or a special occasion meal. The tender and juicy pork chops, paired with the grilled peaches, create a harmonious balance of textures and tastes.
