Grilled Pork Chops with Peach Salsa

Ingredients

• 4 boneless pork chops
• 4 cups water
• 1/4 cup salt (for brine)
• 2 peaches, diced
• 1/4 red onion, diced
• 1 jalapeño, diced
• 2 tbsp lime juice
• 2 tbsp cilantro, chopped
• 1 tbsp olive oil

Method

1. 1

   Whisk water and salt until dissolved, submerge the pork chops, and brine 30 minutes — this brief saltwater brine is what keeps naturally lean pork chops juicy on the grill instead of drying out and turning tough.

2. 2

   Remove chops from the brine, pat dry, and rub with olive oil.

3. 3

   Toss diced peaches, red onion, jalapeño, lime juice, and cilantro together for the salsa.

4. 4

   Grill the chops over medium-high heat 4-5 minutes per side until the internal temperature reaches 145°F.

5. 5

   Rest 5 minutes, then top with the peach salsa before serving.
