Peach-Glazed Pork Chops with Peppers
- 4 bone-in pork rib or loin chops (1 inch thick, 10 to 12 ounces each)
- 16 assorted baby bell peppers (about 1 pound), stemmed
- Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 shallots, thinly sliced
- 2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh thyme
- 1 cup peach jam or guava jelly
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- 1 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 avocados
- Juice of 2 limes
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives or scallion greens
- Preheat a grill to medium.
- Put the pork chops and bell peppers in a shallow dish; season with salt and pepper.
- Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil, the shallots and 1 teaspoon thyme in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
- Cook until the shallots are softened, 3 minutes.
- Whisk in the jam until dissolved.
- Remove from the heat.
- Whisk in the ketchup, soy sauce and a few ice cubes; stir until the ice melts and the glaze cools.
- Pour half of the mixture over the pork and peppers; let sit 5 minutes.
- Reserve the remaining glaze for brushing.
- Grill the pork, brushing with some of the reserved glaze, until cooked through, about 8 minutes per side.
- Transfer to a plate, tent with foil and let rest 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, grill the peppers, turning and brushing with more glaze, until blistered and tender, 10 minutes; transfer to the plate.
- Peel, pit and slice the avocados; gently toss with the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, the lime juice, chives and the remaining 1 teaspoon thyme.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Serve with the pork and peppers.
