Tips & Techniques
  • Wine suggestion – I love this dish with an Alsatian or Australian dry Reisling, or else a cool-climate Pinot Noir, such as one from Oregon, Burgundy or New Zealand.
  • Simple, rustic with sweet and sour notes, this pork dish is best when peaches are at their peak. If out of season, try with pears, apples or figs. It’s also great with duck breast!

Ingredients

4 pork chops, bone in

1 tsp allspice

1 tsp ginger powder

Salt and pepper

Olive oil, for cooking

1/2 lemon

1 tbsp shallot, diced

1/4 cup white wine

2 tbsp brown sugar

1 tbsp balsamic vinegar

2 tsp Worcestershire sauce

2 peaches, sliced

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  2. Trim excess fat off pork chops and season with the spices, salt and pepper.
  3. Heat a thin layer of oil in a large sauté pan and cook chops on medium high for 2 minutes each side or until golden brown.
  4. Transfer to an oven proof dish, sprinkle with lemon juice and cook for 10-15 minutes or until cooked as desired.
  5. Meanwhile, drain excess fat from pan and add the shallot. Cook for 1-2 minutes to soften, then add the wine, sugar, vinegar and Worcestershire sauce. Bring to the boil, add the peaches then reduce heat and simmer until peaches are just starting to soften.
  6. Serve the pork with the glazed peaches spooned over.
