Grilled Rib Pork Chops With Sweet And Tangy Peach Relish Recipe Epicuriouscom

Steps:

• Build a multi-level fire in the grill: Leave 1/4 of the bottom free of coals, bank the coals in the remaining 3/4 of the grill so that they are 3 times as high on 1 side as on the other. When the coals are all ignited and the temperature has lowered to medium (hold hand about 5-inches above grill grid, over the area where coals are deepest, for 4 to 5 seconds), the grill is ready to cook.
• Make spice rub: Combine the ingredients for the spice rub in a small bowl and mix well. Rub the pork chops generously on both sides with the mixture and set aside while making the sauce.
• Make the sauce: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat the oil until hot, but not smoking. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, about 11 to 13 minutes. Add the peaches, ginger, and tomatoes and cook, stirring frequently for 2 minutes. Stir in the vinegar, orange juice, sugar, allspice, and salt and pepper, to taste. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until the mixture is reduced by about 1/2 and thickened slightly, about 20 minutes. Taste and adjust for the seasoning, then transfer the sauce to a blender or food processor and puree until smooth (be careful with hot liquids). Reserve 1/4 cup sauce for basting the chops, then pour the remaining sauce into a small serving bowl.
• Put the chops on the grill over the coals and cook, turning once, until desired doneness; 8 to 10 minutes per side for medium. During the last 30 seconds of cooking on each side, baste the chops generously with the sauce. Check for doneness.
• Serve the chops hot with extra barbecue sauce on the side.
• Cook's note: The spice rub and barbecue sauce contains sugar, which might burn while cooking on the grill. If the chops start to burn on the outside, move them to cooler part of the grill and cover with a metal pie pan or disposable foil to finish cooking.

Steps:

• Preheat grill over medium-high heat and brush with olive oil. Season chops with salt and pepper on both sides. Place pork on grill for 8-9 min., turning once halfway through, until internal temperature is 145°F as measured by a meat thermometer. Remove pork from grill, tent with foil and rest for 3 min.
• Spicy BBQ Sauce: Heat oil in pot over medium heat. Sauté onion until soft; add ketchup, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, vinegar and cayenne. Simmer for 15 min. until sauce thickens; turn off heat. Once cooled, puree sauce in blender. Serve chops with spoonful of sauce.

Steps:

• Trim excess fat from pork chops. Pat dry and season both sides with salt. Set aside.
• Mix red pepper flakes, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, ½ tsp. cumin seeds, and 1 tsp. Diamond Crystal or ½ tsp. Morton kosher salt in a small bowl to combine. Heat honey in a small saucepan over medium just until warm. Remove pan from heat and stir in spice mixture. Set spiced honey aside.
• Toss peaches, red onion, jalapeño, lime juice, cilantro, remaining ½ tsp. cumin seeds, and remaining 2 tsp. Diamond Crystal or 1 tsp. Morton kosher salt in a medium bowl to combine. Chill peach pico de gallo until ready to serve.
• Prepare a grill for 2-zone heat (for a charcoal grill, bank two thirds of coals on one side of grill and scatter remaining coals on other side; for a gas grill, set one burner to high heat and remaining burners to medium-low); oil grate. Grill reserved chops on hotter side of grill, moving to cooler side as needed to control flare-ups, until lightly charred on both sides, about 3 minutes per side. Move pork chops to cooler side of grill, cover, and grill, turning often and basting with reserved spiced honey, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of pork chops registers 145°, about 5 minutes longer. Transfer pork chops to a platter and let rest 10 minutes.
• Spoon peach pico de gallo over pork chops just before serving.

Steps:

• In a wide 6- to 8-quart pot whisk together 8 cups water, salt, and sugar until salt and sugar are dissolved.
• Add pork chops to brine and let stand at room temperature for 1 hour.
• Prepare grill for direct-heat grilling over medium-hot charcoal (medium-high heat for gas; see Grilling Procedure below).
• Remove pork chops from brine, discarding brine, and pat chops dry with several layers of paper towels. Season chops with pepper.
• Oil grill rack, then grill chops, covered only if using a gas grill, turning over occasionally and moving around if flare-ups occur, until browned, 2 to 3 minutes total.
• Move chops to area with no coals underneath (if using gas, turn off a burner and move chops to area over shut-off burner) then cover with lid, and grill, turning and brushing with liquid, until thermometer inserted horizontally into center of chop as close to bone without touching it registers 145°F for slightly pink meat, about 2 to 3 minutes longer.
• Transfer chops to a platter and let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
• Serve chops with peach relish.

Steps:

• Mince and mash garlic to a paste with 1/4 teaspoon salt. Transfer to a bowl and stir in oil and 3 tablespoons lime juice.
• Pour marinade over chops in a glass or ceramic shallow baking dish, then turn to coat. Marinate at room temperature, turning over once, 20 minutes to 1 hour.
• Chop peach, then toss with sugar and remaining teaspoon lime juice in a medium bowl and let stand 5 minutes.
• Stir in tomatoes, scallions, chile, herbs, and vinegar. Let stand while grilling pork.
• Prepare grill for direct-heat cooking over medium-hot charcoal (medium heat for gas).
• Meanwhile, remove chops from marinade and pat dry, leaving any bits of garlic. Sprinkle chops on both sides with chili powder, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper (total).
• Oil grill rack, then grill chops, covered only if using a gas grill, turning over once and moving to area with no coals underneath if flare-ups occur, until just cooked through, 12 to 15 minutes.
• Serve chops with relish.

Steps:

• Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
• Season the pork chops lightly on both sides with the Seasoning Salt. Remember, we aren't rubbing the chops.
• Grill the chops for 5 to 7 minutes per side. Brush them with the Sweet and Tangy Glaze the last 5 minutes of grilling. Internal temperature should register 145 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer. Remove the chops from the grill to a serving platter and allow them to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
• Mix the salt, onion powder, black pepper, garlic powder, celery seed, cayenne, and smoked paprika in a small bowl. Reserve a small amount for another use.
• You can store the remaining Seasoning Salt in an airtight container for up to 6 months.

• Meanwhile, heat a grill to medium-high. Clean and lightly oil hot grill. Season pork chops with salt and pepper. Grill until browned and cooked through, 10 to 12 minutes, flipping once. Serve chops with peach relish and rice.

Steps:

• Combine peaches, sugar, vinegar, and hot pepper flakes, and briskly simmer, uncovered, until liquid thickens slightly, 15 to 20 minutes. Stir in onion and salt and simmer for 5 minutes. Relish will continue to thicken as it cools.
