Instructions

  1. 1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  2. 2 Make the salsa: Place the poblano peppers and the tomatoes over a medium gas flame, either on a grill or right on the burners. Rotate the vegetables every few minutes so that the skins don't completely blacken. Remove the vegetables once their skins are blistering and just partially charred. Let the vegetables cool a bit. Remove the skins of the vegetables with a paring knife. Cut the poblanos into 1/2 inch wide strips, and set them aside.
  3. 3 Cut the tomatoes into 1/2 inch cubes, and put them into a bowl. Add onions, lime juice, cilantro, jalapeno, salt and pepper to the bowl. Mix well. Chill the salsa if you won't be making the frittata within the next few hours.
  4. 4 Make the chips: Stack the tortillas and cut the stack into six wedges. Spread the pieces on a baking sheet, lightly salt them and bake them for 10 minutes or until they are crisp. Remove the chips from the oven but keep the oven on.
  5. 5 Make the frittata: Heat the olive oil in a 10 to 12 inch non-stick oven-proof skillet over medium heat. Add the eggs, and stir them for the first minute of cooking with a plastic spatula. Let the eggs rest for a few seconds, then push the frittata to one side of the pan so the uncooked egg runs underneath.
  6. 6 When the frittata is still moist but no longer runny, sprinkle it with salt, pepper and the shredded Jack cheese.
  7. 7 Place the poblano strips in a star shape on top of the cheese. Bake the frittata in the oven for 3 to 4 minutes or until it is just set. Remove the skillet from the oven and stick the tortilla chips around the edge of the frittata. Take the skillet to the table and cut the frittata into wedges. Serve with the salsa.

  5. 5 Fill pockets with peach stuffing, packing and pressing in firmly; season both sides chops with salt.
  6. 6 Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over high heat. Add chops; sear until browned on one side, about 3 minutes. Carefully flip chops and transfer skillet to the oven.
  7. 7 Bake in the preheated oven until an instant-read thermometer inserted into centers reads 145 degrees F to 150 degrees F (63 to 66 degrees C), about 15 minutes.
  8. 8 Transfer chops to a plate; cover loosely with aluminum foil.
  9. 9 Return the skillet to the stovetop; place a towel over the hot handle. Add ¼ cup chicken broth and balsamic vinegar; bring to a boil while scraping the browned bits of food off the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon. Off heat, stir in butter. Taste; adjust seasoning if desired. Serve sauce over pork chops.

Instructions

  1. 1 Place all peppercorns on a cutting board and use the flat bottom of a heavy pan to crush them as finely or coarsely as you like. Transfer crushed pepper into the pan.
  2. 2 Make 3 cuts through the fat on each pork chop and season generously with salt. Apply a generous coating of crushed peppercorns to both sides, pressing into the meat firmly as you do, until fully coated.
  3. 3 Transfer chops to a rack set over a pan and let sit out at room temperature for 1 hour, turning halfway through and reapplying crushed peppercorns as necessary. Or, place in the refrigerator for 4 to 12 hours.
  4. 4 Meanwhile, prepare the pepper relish while the chops are dry-brining: combine poblano pepper, orange and red bell peppers, garlic, salt, cayenne, and rice vinegar. Mix to combine and cover with plastic wrap. Leave on the counter for 1 hour.
  5. 5 Heat oil in a pan over medium-high heat until very hot and starting to shimmer. Add pork chops and sear for 5 minutes per side. Use tongs to turn chops while you brown the edges for another 1 to 2 minutes. Reduce heat to medium if the pan is too hot and begins to smoke. Chops should firm up and spring back to the touch. Do not overcook. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 140 degrees F (60 degrees C).
  6. 6 Turn off the heat and transfer chops to a plate. Cover loosely with foil and let rest.
  7. 7 Add chicken broth to the hot pan. Turn heat to high and bring to a rolling boil. Add pickled pepper relish and stir with a spoon, scraping all the bits from the bottom of the pan. Cook until liquid in the pan reduces by about half, about 3 minutes.
  8. 8 Turn off the heat. Add cold butter and any accumulated juices from the plate of pork and stir until butter has melted.
  9. 9 Serve pork chops with plenty of hot pickled pepper relish over top.

Instructions

  1. 1 Heat olive oil in a Dutch oven over high heat. Add chicken; sear until well browned on both sides and fat has rendered, 6 to 8 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to a bowl.
  2. 2 Reduce heat to medium; add mushrooms, onion, and salt to the Dutch oven. Cook, stirring occasionally, until well browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Add poblanos, garlic, chili powder, cumin, black pepper, dried oregano, and cayenne pepper; cook and stir until poblanos begin to soften, about 3 minutes.
  3. 3 Stir in chicken broth, diced tomatoes, and bay leaf; increase heat to high. Stir in 1 cup crème fraîche and fresh oregano; bring to a simmer. Add chicken and any accumulated juices to the Dutch oven, nestling chicken into broth to cover. Reduce heat to low or medium-low to maintain a gentle, steady simmer. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until chicken is cooked through, about 1 ¼ hours.
  4. 4 Transfer chicken to a bowl using tongs; set aside until cool enough to handle. Increase heat to medium-high; cook until braising liquid reduced by about half, 15 to 20 minutes, skimming fat from the surface as it cooks.
  5. 5 Meanwhile, remove and discard chicken skin and bones (or save to make stock). Break meat into large or small pieces; save any edible drippings.
  6. 6 Reduce heat to low; add chicken meat and drippings to sauce. Simmer until chicken has absorbed flavor from sauce, about 15 minutes. Off heat, stir in chopped cilantro and remaining ½ cup crème fraîche. Taste; adjust salt and seasonings.
