Pork Chops and Peaches

Summer Sunday Night Menu: 

Pork Chops and Peaches + Twice Baked Red Potatoes

Caramelized Bananas and Vanilla Ice Cream

I've been enjoying fresh summer produce, like Texas blueberries and peaches!  

I had the idea to pair fresh peaches with pork chops for dinner last Sunday night.  

We had peaches. We had butterflied pork chops.  Seemed like a perfect pair.

I've been watching too much Food Network and Chopped.  

FYI - Chef Cory Bahr from Monroe, LA was the Chopped champ on a recent episode.  

I am looking forward to trying out Restaurant Cotton someday on a visit to Louisiana. 

First saute salt/pepper seasoned pork chops on medium/high heat with butter and olive oil. 

Remove the pork chops from the pan after they are well done and golden brown.

Then add a tiny bit of butter to the same pan.

Toss in fresh peaches, a pinch of brown sugar and a pinch of salt. 

Brian was a little skeptical of the peaches at first,

but he ended up loving it and went back for more peaches for each bite!

I've also made a variation using fresh apples - just add a splash of apple juice and cinnamon!
