  • 3 cups chunky salsa*
  • 1/2 cup peach preserves/jam

  • Extra virgin olive oil
  • Salt/Pepper
  • Granulated garlic

Instructions

  1. Grill or pan sear the pork chops that have been seasoned with salt, pepper, and granulated garlic on both sides.
  2. Cook the chops until they are mostly done, but still slightly under-cooked.
  3. Pull them off the heat and allow them to rest.
  4. Meanwhile, in a large pan with olive oil over medium high heat cook the onions and bell peppers.
  5. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until they start to soften.
  6. Add the zucchini. Cook another minute.
  7. Add the garlic and salt and pepper to taste.
  8. Add the salsa and peach preserves/jam. Mix well and bring to a simmer.
  9. Add the cilantro and black beans, stirring gently.
  10. While simmering, slice the pork chops into strips or any desired size.
  11. Add them to the pan along with any juices that may have escaped while slicing.
  12. Continue to simmer on medium heat for 3-5 minutes or until the pork is thoroughly cooked.
  13. Serve over rice, garnished with more freshly chopped cilantro.
  14. *If the salsa is not very chunky, decrease the amount of salsa to 21/2 cups and add one can diced tomatoes.
