2 cups fresh cilantro leaves

SPICY HONEY-GLAZED GRILLED PORK CHOPS WITH PEACH PICO DE GALLO



Spicy Honey-Glazed Grilled Pork Chops With Peach Pico de Gallo image

These grilled pork chops are flavored with a spiced-honey glaze that helps them get a nice char. Serve with a chunky peach pico de gallo.

Provided by Rachel Gurjar

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 (1½"-thick) bone-in pork chops (about 4 lb. total)
3 tsp. Diamond Crystal or 1½ tsp. Morton kosher salt, divided, plus more
1 Tbsp. crushed red pepper flakes
½ tsp. garlic powder
½ tsp. onion powder
½ tsp. smoked paprika
1 tsp. cumin seeds, divided
½ cup honey
2 ripe peaches or nectarines, cut into 1" pieces
½ small red onion, finely chopped
1 jalapeño, finely chopped
Juice of 2 limes
¼ cup chopped cilantro
Vegetable oil (for grill)

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.

Provided by Pinay0618

Categories     Chicken

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons sodium-free seasoning
1 tablespoon crushed chipotle chile (about 2 dried chiles)
2 teaspoons coarse sea salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1 1/2 lbs boneless skinless chicken, whichever cut you prefer
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided
1 (16 ounce) container pico de gallo or 1 (16 ounce) container fresh salsa, divided
2 teaspoons grated lemon peel
3 tablespoons lemon juice

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 400°F Spray 13x9-inch glass baking dish with cooking spray. Grind all rub ingredients in mortar with pestle or in electric coffee grinder until as fine as possible. (Don't worry if larger pieces remain.).
  • Dry chicken with paper towels. Brush with 1 tablespoon of the oil; sprinkle tops with half of the rub. Heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil in large nonstick skillet over medium to medium-high heat until hot. Cook chicken, rub-side up, 2 minutes or until browned; turn. Sprinkle with remaining rub; cook 2 minutes or until browned.
  • Pour 1 1/3 cups of the pico de gallo into baking dish. Sprinkle with lemon peel; top with chicken. Cover with foil. Bake 10 minutes; drizzle with lemon juice. Bake, covered, an additional 5 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink in center. Serve with remaining 2/3 cup pico de gallo.

Tips:

  • Choose the right tomatoes: Roma tomatoes are the best choice for pico de gallo because they are firm and have fewer seeds. If you can't find Roma tomatoes, you can use another type of firm tomato, such as a beefsteak tomato.
  • Use fresh ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your pico de gallo will taste. If you can, use tomatoes that are in season and at their peak of ripeness.
  • Chop your ingredients evenly: This will help to ensure that your pico de gallo has a consistent texture. If you chop your ingredients too finely, they will lose their flavor and texture.
  • Don't over-mix your pico de gallo: Once you have combined all of your ingredients, give them a few gentle stirs. Over-mixing will make your pico de gallo watery.
  • Let your pico de gallo chill before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld together. You can chill your pico de gallo for at least 30 minutes, or up to 24 hours.

Conclusion:

Pico de gallo is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used to add flavor to a variety of dishes. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a few simple tips, you can make the perfect pico de gallo every time.
