Steps:
- Pat the chops dry, and rub them all over with a mixture of the rosemary, salt, pepper and garlic. Cover, and marinate for up to 2 hours at room temperature, or overnight in the refrigerator. Bring the chops back to room temperature before grilling.
- Heat one side of a charcoal or gas grill, and put the rack about 4 inches from the heat source. Cook the chops over the hottest part of the fi re until well seared on both sides, about 3 or 4 minutes per side. Move them to the cool part of the grill, cover and cook until done, anywhere from 1 to 10 minutes, depending on the heat of the fi re and the thickness of the chops. The pork is done when it's just fi rm to the touch, its juices run just slightly pink and the meat is rosy in the center, or when an instant-read thermometer registers 135 degrees in the thickest part of the chop (the temperature will continue to rise as the chops rest). Transfer them to a platter, cover loosely with aluminum foil and let them rest while you make the sauce.
- Put 1 tablespoon of the butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. When the foam subsides, add the shallots, and cook until soft, 2 or 3 minutes. Add the cherries, wine and whatever juices have accumulated around the pork chops; cook, stirring occasionally, until the liquid reduces into a thin syrup, 5 or 6 minutes. Stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons butter, a little at a time, until it's incorporated into the sauce. Season with salt and pepper. Pour the sauce over the chops, and serve.
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.

Tips:
- Choose high-quality pork chops: Look for pork chops that are at least 1 inch thick and have good marbling. This will help ensure that the chops stay juicy and flavorful during grilling.
- Marinate the pork chops before grilling: Marinating the pork chops in a flavorful marinade will help tenderize the meat and infuse it with flavor. You can use a variety of marinades, such as a simple olive oil and herb marinade, a tangy citrus marinade, or a spicy chili marinade.
- Grill the pork chops over medium heat: Grilling the pork chops over medium heat will help prevent them from drying out. Cook the chops for 8-10 minutes per side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Make the poblano cream sauce while the pork chops are grilling: The poblano cream sauce is a quick and easy sauce that can be made while the pork chops are grilling. Simply roast the poblano peppers until they are charred, then puree them with cream, garlic, and spices.
- Serve the pork chops with the poblano cream sauce: Once the pork chops are grilled and the poblano cream sauce is made, serve the chops immediately with the sauce. You can also garnish the chops with fresh cilantro or parsley.
Conclusion:
Grilled pork chops with poblano cream sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The pork chops are juicy and flavorful, and the poblano cream sauce is creamy and tangy. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
