PORK CHOPS IN CHERRY-PEPPER SAUCE

Steps:

• Make the sauce: Drain the cherry peppers, reserving 1 cup brine, then stem, halve, core and seed them. Place a large skillet over medium-high heat, and swirl the olive oil into it. When the oil begins to shimmer, add the garlic, and sauté, stirring frequently, until it begins to color, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the peppers, the reserved brine and the white wine, and bring to a boil over high heat. Cook until the liquid has reduced by slightly more than half, 10 to 15 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper, and remove from the heat. (The sauce can be made a few hours ahead of time.)
• When you're ready to cook the meat, season it aggressively with salt and pepper. Place a large, heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat, and swirl the neutral oil into it. When the oil begins to shimmer, place the meat in the pan, working in batches if needed, and sear until the meat has browned, formed something of a crust and cooked through to medium-rare, 5 to 6 minutes on each side. Transfer the chops to a warmed platter.

GRILLED PORK CHOPS WITH PEPPERS AND BALSAMIC GLAZE

• For the balsamic reduction: Put the vinegar in a nonreactive (such as stainless steel) pan, bring to a boil and cook until reduced to 1/2 cup. Then stir in the honey, transfer to a bowl and let cool to room temperature; it will thicken as it cools.
• For the pork chops: Whisk together the vinegar, honey, 1/4 cup oil, parsley and thyme and let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.
• Remove the pork from the refrigerator 30 minutes before grilling to take the chill off.
