"Life is better than death, I believe, if only because it is less boring and because it has fresh peaches in it."
-Thomas Walker, Physician
I love the flavor of peaches with pork. They seem so right together. The addition of the sage and onions makes this simple topping for pork just a bit savory. This is a good example of using fats that are good for you like the olive oil with just a little butter to enhance the flavor and texture of the cooked peaches. It doesn't take much -- just a bit to finish off the sauce.

2 Tbsp | olive oil |
1 clove | garlic (peeled and sliced) |
2 tsp | dry rubbed sage |
1 small | Vidalia (or sweet) onion (diced) |
1 lb | peaches, peeled and sliced thinly |
1/2 cup | low sodium chicken or vegetable broth |
1/4 cup | water |
1 | lime (juiced) |
1/2 tsp | salt |
1/4 tsp | ground cumin |
fresh ground black pepper (to taste) | |
2 tsp | maple syrup |
2 tsp | unsalted butter |
4 | 4 ounce center cut pork chops (boneless) |
1/4 | red bell pepper (finely diced) |
Place a medium stainless steel or non-reactive saucepan over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil, garlic, and sage, cook for one minute, stirring frequently.
Add diced onion and cook for three minutes. Add sliced peaches and 1/2 cup chicken stock. Reduce heat to low. Add water, lime juice, 1/4 tsp. salt, ground cumin, and black pepper, and stir well. Cook, simmering gently, for 20 minutes, until peaches are softened.
Gently mash peaches with a fork until they're the consistency of marmalade. Add the maple syrup and 2 tablespoons butter and set aside.
Place a large skillet in oven and preheat oven to 375F.
When hot, sprinkle the remaining 1/4 tsp salt over the pork chops. Add the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil to the hot pan. Place the pork chops in the pan, seasoned side down.
Put back in the oven and cook for 7-9 minutes, then turn. Cook for an additional 5-6 minutes.
Plate each pork chop and serve, topped with the peach marmalade and sprinkled with 1/4 of the diced red pepper.
