Ingredients

• ✓ pink peppercorn
• dark chocolate
• pistachio nut
• currant

Instructions

1. 1 Heat 2/3 of the dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 15-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until chocolate is nearly melted but some chunks remain, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from microwave and stir until completely smooth. Add the remaining 1/3 of dark chocolate. Stir well until all the chocolate has melted.
2. 2 Lay out a large sheet of parchment paper on a flat work surface. Pour melted chocolate onto parchment and spread into a thin, even layer using a spatula. Scatter pink peppercorns, pistachios, and currants quickly over chocolate before it sets.
3. 3 Leave the chocolate to set fully, about 45 minutes. Break into randomly sized pieces and store in an airtight container.

Ingredients

• ✓ pink peppercorn
• rice vinegar
• cayenne pepper
• salt
• garlic
• red bell pepper
• orange bell pepper
• poblano pepper
• pepper relish
• butter
• chicken broth
• olive oil
• kosher salt
• pork chop
• green peppercorn
• white peppercorn
• black peppercorn

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.
