Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless pork chops
- 2 large fresh peaches
- 1 tablespoon ginger, grated
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce, low sodium
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 cup water
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons green onions, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
Instructions
Peel and slice the peaches into thin wedges. Set aside.
Season the pork chops with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork chops and sear for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove the pork from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the garlic and grated ginger. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in the honey, soy sauce, and water. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water to create a slurry. Stir this into the sauce in the skillet and simmer for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens.
Add the sliced peaches to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes until they become tender, but not mushy.
Return the pork chops to the skillet, spoon the sauce over them, and cook for an additional 5 minutes, or until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Garnish the dish with chopped green onions and serve immediately. Pair with rice, quinoa, or a side salad for a complete meal.
