It's Peach Time!! I loooove peaches and could eat them every single day! I made this for the hubs and I the other night and felt it was very summery, fresh and delicious! The hubs was not a fan of the marinade for the pork but I liked it :) If you like cilantro you will enjoy this! The original recipe is for 4 pork chops, but I did the same amount of sauce and marinade for two. We like a lot of sauce!
I served this with a grilled artichoke with italian dressing to dip it in. Always an easy side dish when the grill is already going!

3 cloves of garlic
1/2 cup packed cilantro, stems and leaves
Salt and Pepper
1 Tbsp lower sodium soy sauce
2 boneless pork chops
1/3 c fresh lime juice
1 Tbsp dark brown sugar
1/2 tsp crushed red pepper4 ripe but firm peaches
1. In food processor combine garlic, cilantro, pepper and soy sauce. Pulse until combined. Then place in container with pork chops evenly distributed. Refridgerate until ready to grill and up to overnight
2. In same food processor (do not clean the bowl!) combine lime juice, sugar, red pepper, and 2 pitted peaches. Puree until smooth and cam be refridgerated overnight.
3. Prepare grill for direct grilling on medium heat.
4. Cut remaining peaches in halves. Grill 5-7 minutes or until grill marks appear. Grill chops, covered, to desired temperature.
5. Plate chop with two halves of a peach and pour sauce over it. I put the sauce on the stove to heat it up a smidge. I did not want cold sauce on my hot chop but either or is fine. Completely up to your preference!
