Dinner Time- Braised Pork Chops with Summer Peach Cilantro Salsa

So I bit the bullet and decided to try cooking meat today, My local grocery store had a special on pork chops, so off I went to market to get my little piggies. My dad gave me a super easy way to cook it, all you do is
  • heat a skillet or pan with enough oil to cover the bottom, I used canola
  • then rub salt and pepper to taste on each side of the pork chop.
  • Once the pan is really hot (I'm talking high heat) braise for about 2 minutes on each side
  • Then depending on the thickness of the chop cover and turn down heat to about medium-low
  • Once cooked through, i.e. no pink, it's ready
While my meat was cooking I finely diced a peach and some cilantro, maybe about 3/4 a cup and put them in a bowl, then I added some lemon juice, about a tablespoon of brown sugar and some salt and pepper for taste (not too much since you've also put it on your pork chop). Mix together and serve with the pork chop. Pair with a nice cold glass of white wine, and kick up your feet as you enjoy the tastes of summer!
