GRILLED PORK AND PEACHES
Here is a simple dinner you could cook on a pancake griddle set on the grate above a fire pit or grill in someone's backyard, as if performing a magic trick. The result is a plate of thick, luscious pork with a deep, burnished crust, redolent of garlic and rosemary, and a sunset of soft, smoky peaches nutty with brown butter. The technique is what Francis Mallmann, the Latin American chef who developed the recipe and is its most refined and stylish practitioner, calls "the uncertain edge of burnt." It requires patience and keen observation. What you are looking for on the edges of the meat and fruit is color: a deep, dark brown that is almost black - a black without bitter, a burn that is not burned.

Steps:
- Light a fire in a fire pit with a grill, or in a charcoal grill, or set a gas grill to high. If you have a very strong vent in your kitchen, you may use your stove with a burner set to high. Place a large cast-iron pan or two-burner griddle over the heat and allow it to get hot. At this point you can let the fire die slightly with no ill effect. If using a gas grill or stove, turn heat to medium.
- Meanwhile, put the pork on a work surface and, using a meat mallet, pound to an even thickness of approximately 3/4 of an inch.
- Combine the garlic, rosemary and 6 tablespoons olive oil in a small bowl, mixing to make a rough paste. Season the pork aggressively on both sides with salt and pepper, then spread half the garlic mixture over one side and half on the other side.
- Brush the pan or griddle with the remaining olive oil, allow it to heat until it shimmers and is almost smoking, then place meat on the hot surface and cook, without touching, until it forms a good crust, approximately 10 minutes.
- While the meat cooks, surround it with the peaches, cut side down, and dot the fruit with the butter. (If you're using two cast-iron skillets, place the peaches in their own oiled pan.) Let them cook for approximately 5 minutes, or until they are soft and slightly charred. Transfer to a platter and tent with foil to keep warm.
- When the meat is well browned on the first side, use tongs to turn it over, and cook in the remaining butter for another 5 to 7 minutes. Remove the meat to a carving board and allow it to rest below a tent of foil for approximately 5 minutes. Slice the meat and serve with the peaches.

Steps:
- Combine 1/2 cup olive oil and vegetable oil in a measuring cup. Combine 2 tablespoons marjoram, Dijon mustard, garlic, and vinegar in a medium bowl. Slowly whisk oil mixture into herb mixture until creamy. Season to taste with pepper. Transfer about 1/4 cup dressing to a small bowl; cover and chill.
- Season pork chops with 4 teaspoons salt. Transfer to a resealable plastic bag; pour remaining dressing over, spreading evenly to distribute. Seal bag; chill for at least 4 hours and up to 24 hours.
- Cook beans in a large pot of boiling salted water, stirring occasionally, until crisp-tender, 3-5 minutes. Drain; transfer to a large bowl of ice water to chill. Drain beans; pat dry. Transfer beans, remaining 1 tablespoon marjoram, and shallot to a medium bowl; toss with enough reserved dressing to coat and season with salt and pepper.
- Build a medium fire in a charcoal grill, or heat a gas grill to medium-high. Remove pork chops from bag, scraping off excess dressing. Grill chops, turning occasionally on all sides, until browned and cooked through, about 20 minutes total. (Be sure to cook thick chops on the edges, too, and melt the thin strips of white fat; they'll cook more evenly.)
- Place peaches in a medium bowl; drizzle with some olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Toss to coat. Grill peaches, cut side down, until they begin to soften and char, 4-6 minutes. Transfer pork and peaches to a cutting board; let pork rest for 10 minutes.
- Slice peaches. Carve bones from pork and thinly slice meat. Serve pork and peaches with bean salad.

Steps:
- Build a fire in your grill, leaving about 1/3 of grill free of coals.
- Mix butter and molasses together well. Add lime and set aside. Rub cut side of peaches with oil.
- Sprinkle chops and peaches generously with salt and pepper. When coals are covered with gray ash and fire is hot (you can hold your hand 5 inches above coals for only 1 to 2 seconds), put chops on grill directly over coals. Put peaches on grill along edge of coals.
- After 4 minutes, flip chops and cook for 4 minutes more, then move chops to part of grill with no coals. Cover them with a disposable foil pan, and continue to cook for 8 to 10 minutes more for medium.
- When you move chops, flip peaches over. During last 2 minutes of cooking, coat peaches liberally with molasses-butter mixture. Remove from grill and serve.

GRILLED PORK CHOPS WITH PEACHES
I think I got this recipe from an old newspaper. You can use fresh or canned peaches. Also, you can substitute another lettuce like Romaine or Endive for the Radicchio which I think is kind of expensive.

Tips:
- Choose the right pork chops: Look for pork chops that are at least 1 inch thick and have a good amount of marbling. This will help ensure that the chops stay juicy and flavorful during grilling.
- Brine the pork chops: Brining the pork chops in a mixture of water, salt, sugar, and spices helps to tenderize the meat and add flavor. You can brine the pork chops for anywhere from 30 minutes to overnight.
- Preheat your grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat before cooking the pork chops. This will help to sear the chops and prevent them from sticking to the grill.
- Cook the pork chops over indirect heat: Once the grill is preheated, move the pork chops to the indirect heat zone. This will help to cook the chops evenly without overcooking them.
- Use a meat thermometer: The best way to tell if the pork chops are cooked through is to use a meat thermometer. Insert the thermometer into the thickest part of the chop and cook until it reads 145 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare, 155 degrees Fahrenheit for medium, or 165 degrees Fahrenheit for well-done.
- Let the pork chops rest: Once the pork chops are cooked, let them rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful chop.
Conclusion:
Grilled pork chops with peaches and pole beans is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that's perfect for a summer cookout. The pork chops are juicy and flavorful, the peaches are sweet and tangy, and the pole beans are crisp and tender. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
