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
12 tsp salt
14 tsp pepper
2 tsps ground coriander

Steps

  1. Halve and pit peaches, then cut into 1 inch wedges.
  2. Combine coriander, 12 tsp salt, and 14 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
