Spicy Peach-Glazed Pork Chops

Recipe View In a small bowl, whisk together the peach preserves, Worcestershire sauce, and chile paste until well combined. Set aside the glaze. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

Recipe View Heat the vegetable oil in a large, heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. (2 minutes)

Recipe View Rinse the pork chops and pat them completely dry with paper towels. Season generously on both sides with ground ginger, cinnamon, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. (3 minutes)

Recipe View Carefully place the seasoned pork chops in the hot skillet and sear for about 2-3 minutes per side, until a rich golden-brown crust forms. Remove the chops from the skillet and set aside. (6-8 minutes)

Recipe View Pour the white wine into the skillet, scraping up any flavorful browned bits from the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. This adds depth and richness to the sauce. (2 minutes)

Recipe View Stir in the reserved peach preserves mixture, blending it thoroughly with the wine reduction. Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer. (3 minutes)

Recipe View Return the seared pork chops to the skillet, nestling them in the peach glaze. Spoon the sauce over the chops to coat them evenly. (2 minutes)

Recipe View Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the skillet, and cook the pork chops for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through and no longer pink in the center. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the chop should register at least 145°F (63°C). (12-16 minutes)

Recipe View Remove the pork chops from the skillet and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. Spoon the remaining peach glaze over the chops. (5 minutes)
