PORK WITH POLENTA AND ROSEMARY PEACHES
Steps:
- For the brine: Add salt, brown sugar, garlic, thyme, bay leaf, tea bags and 2 quarts water to a large saucepot. Bring to a boil, then remove from heat and let cool completely.
- For the pork: Add pork chop to the brine. Let sit at room temperature for 1 hour or refrigerated for up to 1 day. Pat pork chop completely dry and bring to room temperature.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Heat a large cast-iron pan over high heat. Add butter and thyme. Sear pork chop until golden brown, basting with butter, about 7 minutes. Flip over and sear other side, continuing to baste, an additional 5 minutes.
- Transfer pan to oven and cook until internal temperature reaches 140 degrees F.
- Remove pork from pan. Allow to rest for at least 5 minutes. Garnish with lemon juice, a drizzle of good olive oil and freshly ground black pepper.
- For the polenta: Add corn, chicken stock and polenta to a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook, stirring often, until polenta is no longer mealy, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and add butter and Parmesan. Stir to combine.
- For the rosemary peaches: Add olive oil to a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add peaches, chicken stock, rosemary, lemon juice and a good pinch of salt. Saute until softened and liquid has reduced by half, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in butter.
- For the speck: Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread speck out on the parchment and bake until crispy, about 10 minutes. Allow to cool slightly.
- Plate pork on top of polenta and spoon some of the peaches on top. Garnish with crispy speck in large shards and micro herbs, if using.
GRILLED ROSEMARY GINGER PORK TENDERLOIN AND PEACHES
Steps:
- Whisk together the oil, vinegar, ginger, rosemary, sugar substitute, salt, pepper, and pepper flakes in a bowl. Transfer half of the marinade to a gallon-sized sealable plastic bag with the pork. Marinate the pork in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours and up to 12 hours. Refrigerate the remaining marinade.
- When ready to cook, build a charcoal fire or preheat gas grill
- Remove pork from the bag and discard the used marinade. Place the tenderloins on the grill and cook, turning once, until cooked medium rare or when an instant-read thermometer stuck in the thickest part reads 145 degrees F, about 10 minutes. Transfer the pork to a cutting board, cover loosely with foil, and let rest for 5 minutes. Cut each tenderloin into 8 slices on the diagonal.
- Meanwhile, toss peach and tomato halves in a bowl with the unused reserved marinade. Place them cut side down on the grill, and cook until lightly browned but still firm, about 4 minutes. Transfer to the cutting board and cut each peach half into thirds.
- To serve, fan 3 radicchio lettuce leaves on each of 4 plates. Place 1/4 of the romaine in the center of each. On 1 side of each plate, place 4 slices of pork and on the other side, place 3 wedges of peach and 2 tomato halves. Sprinkle with the cheese and drizzle each plate with 2 tablespoons of the reserved marinade. Garnish each plate with a rosemary sprig and serve.

Steps:
- Combine the ginger, 2 tablespoons vinegar and 1 tablespoon high-heat cooking oil, like canola, in a large resealable plastic bag. Sprinkle the pork with freshly ground black pepper and seal in the bag, squeezing out as much air as possible. Refrigerate at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
- When ready to cook, move the pork to the counter to bring it to room temperature. Preheat the grill for cooking over medium heat (350 to 400 degrees F).
- Cut the peaches in half crosswise around the pit (not through the stem) for easier release. Twist the halves in opposite directions to release the flesh from the pit. Twist the pit out of the peach, cutting tightly around the pit with a paring knife, if necessary. Drizzle the peaches cut-side up with the remaining 2 teaspoons vinegar.
- Drain off the marinade and sprinkle the pork with 1/4 teaspoon salt. Rub the grill grates lightly with oil and grill the pork until it has nice grill marks and releases easily from the grill, about 8 minutes.
- Turn the pork and cook another 5 minutes. Once more, turn to another side and cook an additional 5 minutes. Remove the pork and cover it loosely with foil. Allow to rest 5 to 10 minutes to let the juices redistribute.
- Meanwhile, place the peaches on the grill cut-sides down and cook until they have nice grill marks, release easily from the grill and are softened, 8 to 10 minutes.
- Sprinkle the pork and peaches with basil and additional salt and pepper to taste. Slice and serve.
