Grilled Jerk Pork With Curried Peach Relish Recipes

Steps:

• Make relish: Cut a shallow X in bottom of each peach and tomato with a sharp paring knife and blanch in 2 batches in a 4-quart saucepan of boiling water 10 seconds. Transfer peaches and tomatoes with a slotted spoon to a bowl of ice and cold water and let stand until cool enough to handle. Peel peaches and tomatoes, then halve peaches lengthwise and pit. Cut peaches into 1-inch pieces. Coarsely chop tomatoes.
• Cook onion, ginger, and salt in oil in a 3-quart heavy saucepan over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Add curry powder and cook, stirring constantly, 1 minute. Add peaches and tomatoes with any juices, sugar, and lime juice and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until mixture is thick and peaches are tender but still hold their shape, about 8 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and cool, uncovered, then chill, covered, at least 8 hours.
• Marinate pork: Combine scallions, thyme, salt, allspice, pepper, lime juice, molasses, and hot sauce in a blender and blend until smooth. Put pork in a nonreactive dish and rub all over with marinade. Marinate, covered and chilled, turning occasionally, 8 hours. Bring to room temperature before grilling.
• Grill pork: Discard any marinade remaining in dish, then brush pork lightly with oil and grill on a lightly oiled grill rack, turning occasionally and basting frequently with oil, until thermometer inserted diagonally into center of meat registers 145°F, 15 to 25 minutes.
• Transfer pork to a cutting board and let stand 15 minutes. (Internal temperature will rise to about 155°F.) Serve pork with relish.

Steps:

• In a wide 6- to 8-quart pot whisk together 8 cups water, salt, and sugar until salt and sugar are dissolved.
• Add pork chops to brine and let stand at room temperature for 1 hour.
• Prepare grill for direct-heat grilling over medium-hot charcoal (medium-high heat for gas; see Grilling Procedure below).
• Remove pork chops from brine, discarding brine, and pat chops dry with several layers of paper towels. Season chops with pepper.
• Oil grill rack, then grill chops, covered only if using a gas grill, turning over occasionally and moving around if flare-ups occur, until browned, 2 to 3 minutes total.
• Move chops to area with no coals underneath (if using gas, turn off a burner and move chops to area over shut-off burner) then cover with lid, and grill, turning and brushing with liquid, until thermometer inserted horizontally into center of chop as close to bone without touching it registers 145°F for slightly pink meat, about 2 to 3 minutes longer.
• Transfer chops to a platter and let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
• Serve chops with peach relish.

Steps:

• Cut the tenderloin in half and set the thinner end to the side. Cut the thicker end in half lengthwise. You should have 3 mostly equal pieces.
• Combine onion, thyme, vinegar, garlic, habanero peppers, ginger, soy sauce, vegetable oil, brown sugar, allspice, black pepper, cayenne pepper, nutmeg, and cinnamon in a blender. Puree until smooth, stopping to scrape down sides.
• Pour Jerk marinade into a resealable plastic bag. Add pork tenderloin pieces, coat with the marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for 4 to 6 hours.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat, and lightly oil the grate.
• Grill pork, moving if necessary to avoid overcooking the thin parts of the meat, until dark grill marks appear and they lift easily from the grill, 6 to 7 minutes each side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).

Steps:

• Combine habanero peppers, onion, green onions, ginger, and garlic, in a blender or food processor. Blend until quite fine. Add cider, white vinegar, soy sauce, olive oil, and sugar. Season with mustard seed, salt, pepper, thyme, allspice, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Continue to blend until smooth.
• Place the pork tenderloin in a shallow casserole dish. Spread mixture on all sides of the meat (wear gloves or use a spatula). Cover and refrigerate for 8 hours.
• Preheat grill for medium-high heat.
• Lightly oil grate. Add soaked wood chips to coals, if using. Grill slabs of tenderloin, turning as needed, about 6 to 7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature has reached 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
• Remove meat from grill; allow to rest for 5 minutes. Slice thinly and serve.

Steps:

• For the relish (make this a day ahead and chill) cut a shallow X in bottom of each peach and tomato using a sharp paring knife.
• Blanch in 2 batches in a 4-quart saucepan of boiling water for about 10-12 seconds; transfer peaches and tomatoes using a slotted spoon to a large bowl of ice water, let stand until cool enough to handle.
• Peel the peaches and tomatoes, then halve peaches lenghwise and remove the pit.
• Cut the peaches into about 1-inch pieces, then coarsley chop the tomatoes.
• In a heavy saucepan cook the onion, ginger and salt in oil over medium heat, stirring occasionally until softened (about 3-4 minutes).
• Add in curry powder and cook stirring constantly for 1 minute.
• Add in chopped peaches and tomatoes along with any juices in the bottom of the bowl.
• Add in sugar and lime juice; simmer uncovered stirring occasionally until the mixture is thick and the peaches are tender but still hold their shape (about 8 minutes).
• Transfer to a bowl and cool to room temperature.
• Cover and refrigerate overnight.
• For the pork; in a blender combine scallions, thyme, salt, allspice, pepper, lime juice, molasses and hot sauce; blend until smooth.
• Place the pork in a glass dish and rub the marinade all over on all sides.
• Cover, place in the refrigerator for 24 hours, turning occasionally a couple of times during the 24 hours.
• IMPORTANT; bring the pork to room temperature before grilling.
• Prepare the grill to medium-hot.
• Discard any marinade in the dish, then brush the pork lightly with oil.
• Grill pork turning occasionally and basting frequently with oil until the thermometer inserted diagonally into center of pork registers 145F, about 15-25 minutes (I grill my pork just to 140F so it will not be overdone and dry, but still be moist).
• Transfer the pork to a cutting board and let sit for 15 minutes (the internal temperature will rise to about 155F).
• Serve the grilled pork with prepared chilled peach relish.
• DELICIOUS!
