Pork Chops with peaches
Buy a whole center-cut pork loin roast and cut it into chops. Look for a loin that is 7 to 8 inches long and 3 to 3.5 inches in diameter.
Ingredients
| 2 whole | ripe peaches |
| 2.5-3 lbs | boneless center-cut pork loin roast |
| 3 tbsps | vegetable oil |
| 1⁄2 tsp | salt |
| 1⁄4 tsp | pepper |
| 2 tsps | ground coriander |
Steps
- Halve and pit peaches, then cut into 1 inch wedges.
- Combine coriander, 1⁄2 tsp salt, and 1⁄4 tsp pepper in a small bowl. Trim pork, then cut roast crosswise into 4 chops of equal thickness. Pat chops dry with paper towels then season with coriander mixture.
- Heat 12 inch skillet over medium heat with 1 tbsp vegetable oil until just smoking. Add chops and cook without moving until lightly browned on both sides (about 2 minutes per side). Flip chops and continue to cook, flipping every 2 mintues until well browned and meat registers 140 degrees (12-14 minutes). Transfer chops to cutting board, tent with foil and let rest.
- While pork rests, add 1 tbsp oil to now empty skillet and heat over medium-low until shimmering. Add peaches, cut side down and cook until caramelized on first side, about 2 minutes. Flip and continue to cook until caramelized on second side and tender, about 2 minutes.
