Steps:
- Dust the pork chops on both sides with the flour; season with salt and pepper. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add the pork chops and cook until golden brown, 4 minutes. Flip; cook until lightly golden on the other side, 2 more minutes. Remove to a plate.
- Reduce the heat to medium high; heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in the skillet. Add the bell peppers, onion, chopped garlic, pepperoncini, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened, 10 minutes. Stir in the pepperoncini brine and chicken broth. Return the pork to the skillet. Reduce the heat to medium low; cook, flipping the pork halfway through, until cooked through and the liquid is reduced, 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, preheat the broiler. Combine the butter, grated garlic and 1/4 teaspoon salt; spread on the bread. Transfer to a baking sheet and broil until toasted, 1 minute. Slice the bread and sprinkle with the parsley. Serve with the pork chops and vegetables.

JALAPEñO GRILLED PORK CHOPS
Juicy jalapeños offer discernible heat, but they have a higher purpose beyond that: They provide welcome freshness with their distinct vegetal flavor. When blitzed with aromatic cilantro stems and plenty of garlic, jalapeños transform into a punchy marinade that flavors and tenderizes pork chops gloriously, and tinges them a bright Reptar-Bar green, too. That brilliant color, evidence of the chlorophyll in the peppers and herbs, stays vibrant even after a fiery kiss on the grill.

Steps:
- Make the pork chops: In a food processor, blitz the jalapeños, garlic, cilantro stems, rice vinegar, olive oil, salt and sugar until smooth. Place the pork chops in a large bowl or resealable container and pour the marinade over them; turn the chops to evenly coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes and up to 24 hours.
- While the chops marinate, prepare a charcoal grill for direct high-heat cooking, or heat a gas grill to medium-high.
- Make the relish: In a small bowl, toss the jalapeño, red onion, rice vinegar, salt, sugar and 2 tablespoons water. Set aside to quick-pickle until ready to serve, or refrigerate for up to 24 hours.
- Carefully grease the grill grate: Use tongs to grip a wadded paper towel dipped in oil and then rub the grates with the oiled towel. With the marinade clinging to them, place the pork chops on the hot greased grate. Grill until the chops are charred at the edges and no longer pink in the middle, 2 to 3 minutes per side. The meat is ready to flip when it releases easily from the grates. (If using a gas grill, close the lid between flips.) Alternatively, cook the chops on the stovetop in batches. Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high. Add enough oil to lightly coat the bottom of the pan, and heat until shimmering. Add the chops, with the marinade clinging to them, to the pan. Sear until browned and caramelized at the edges and no longer pink in the middle, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Discard any remaining marinade.
- Serve the chops with the relish and cilantro on top. If you'd like, serve rice alongside.

Steps:
- Place all peppercorns on a cutting board and use the flat bottom of a heavy pan to crush them as finely or coarsely as you like. Transfer crushed pepper into the pan.
- Make 3 cuts through the fat on each pork chop and season generously with salt. Apply a generous coating of crushed peppercorns to both sides, pressing into the meat firmly as you do, until fully coated.
- Transfer chops to a rack set over a pan and let sit out at room temperature for 1 hour, turning halfway through and reapplying crushed peppercorns as necessary. Or, place in the refrigerator for 4 to 12 hours.
- Meanwhile, prepare the pepper relish while the chops are dry-brining: combine poblano pepper, orange and red bell peppers, garlic, salt, cayenne, and rice vinegar. Mix to combine and cover with plastic wrap. Leave on the counter for 1 hour.
- Heat oil in a pan over medium-high heat until very hot and starting to shimmer. Add pork chops and sear for 5 minutes per side. Use tongs to turn chops while you brown the edges for another 1 to 2 minutes. Reduce heat to medium if the pan is too hot and begins to smoke. Chops should firm up and spring back to the touch. Do not overcook. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 140 degrees F (60 degrees C).
- Turn off the heat and transfer chops to a plate. Cover loosely with foil and let rest.
- Add chicken broth to the hot pan. Turn heat to high and bring to a rolling boil. Add pickled pepper relish and stir with a spoon, scraping all the bits from the bottom of the pan. Cook until liquid in the pan reduces by about half, about 3 minutes.
- Turn off the heat. Add cold butter and any accumulated juices from the plate of pork and stir until butter has melted.
- Serve pork chops with plenty of hot pickled pepper relish over top.
