Molasses Brine

Pork Chop

Shishito Peppers

Panisse Tomatillo Salsa

Epazote Chimichurri Peach Mostarda

Method

Molasses Brine

  1. 1

    Prepare the Brine

    In a large bowl, combine water, molasses, and salt. Stir until salt is fully dissolved.

  2. 2

    Add Spices

    Add black peppercorns, garlic cloves, and bay leaves to the brine mixture.

  3. 3

    Brine the Pork

    Place the pork chop into the brine, ensuring it is fully submerged. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.

Pork Chop

  1. 4

    Sear the Pork Chop

    Remove the pork chop from the brine, rinse under cold water, and pat dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.

  2. 5

    Heat Oil

    In a skillet over medium-high heat, add olive oil. Once hot, add the pork chop.

  3. 6

    Cook the Pork Chop

    Sear the pork chop for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C). Remove from skillet and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Shishito Peppers

  1. 7

    Cook the Peppers

    In the same skillet used for the pork chop, add olive oil and heat over medium-high. Add the shishito peppers and sauté for about 5 minutes, until blistered.

  2. 8

    Season Peppers

    Sprinkle sea salt over the peppers and toss to combine. Remove from heat.

Panisse Tomatillo Salsa

  1. 9

    Blend Salsa Ingredients

    In a blender, combine tomatillos, onion, cilantro, lime juice, and jalapeño. Blend until smooth.

  2. 10

    Taste and Adjust

    Taste the salsa and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more lime juice or salt to taste.

Epazote Chimichurri Peach Mostarda

  1. 11

    Combine Ingredients

    In a bowl, mix together peach preserves, fresh epazote, red wine vinegar, olive oil, and mustard seeds.

  2. 12

    Stir Well

    Stir until all ingredients are well combined. Let sit for at least 15 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
