15 minutes Cook time 15 minutes Prep time 4 servings

Ingredients

Preparation

On the BBQ

  1. Mix spices and lime zest on a plate. Set aside 2 tsp. (10 ml) of the spice mixture and lime wedges for serving.
  2. Place pork chops on spices and turn to coat on each side. Cover and let meat rest in the fridge for 1 hour.
  3. Preheat barbecue to medium-high. Oil the grill.
  4. Grill pork chops for about 4 minutes on each side or until a thermometer inserted in the centre of a chop reads 140°F (60°C) for medium rare. Set aside on a plate and let stand for 5 minutes.
  5. Drizzle corn and peaches with oil. Grill for 5–8 minutes, turning frequently, until tender and grilled on all sides.
  6. Serve pork chops with grilled corn and peaches. Sprinkle with reserved spice mixture, cilantro and cheese. Serve with lime wedges and arugula salad, if desired.

Sous vide

  1. Mix spices and lime zest on a plate. Set aside 2 tsp. (10 ml) of the spice mixture and lime wedges for serving.
  2. Place pork chops on spices and turn to coat on each side. Cover and let meat rest in the fridge for 1 hour.
  3. In the meantime, fill a large pot or sous-vide container with water. Attach the immersion circulator to the rim of the container according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Set cooking temperature to 140°F (60°C). Allow water to reach the right temperature.
  4. Fold over the rim of two large sous-vide bags or resealable freezer bags to keep the outside clean. Place 2 chops side by side in each bag.
  5. Turn up the rims of the bags and seal with a vacuum or plunge the bags into water (without fully submerging them) to expel the air, then close.
  6. Using clamps, secure bags to sides of container to fully immerse meat in water. Set cooking time to 1 hour.
  7. Remove bags from water and take out meat. Discard bags and cooking juices.
  8. Follow steps 3 to 6 of the BBQ instructions above to grill chops, reducing the cook time to about 1 minute on each side.
