Instructions

  1. 1 Wearing rubber or latex gloves, trim tops off chiles. Pulse chiles, bell peppers, and onion in a food processor, working in batches, until finely chopped, about 1 minute per batch. Transfer to a nonreactive 3-quart pot.
  2. 2 Stir sugar, vinegar, and pickling salt into chile mixture; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer, stirring more frequently toward the end of cooking to prevent scorching, until thickened, 20 to 30 minutes.

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.
