Fruit on the grill is a wonderful pleasure - the natural sugars caramelize as the juices are seared inside. Combined in a ginger sauce, grilled peaches are a fantastic condiment for pork.
Ingredients
4
teaspoons
extra-virgin olive oil, divided
1-1 1/4
pounds
pork tenderloin, trimmed of fat
1/4
teaspoon plus 1/8 teaspoon
salt, divided
1/4
teaspoon
freshly ground pepper
1
teaspoon
finely chopped fresh ginger
1
tablespoon
light brown sugar
2
tablespoons
rice vinegar
Directions
1.

2.
Peel peaches (see Tip). Cut in half and remove the pits. Brush the cut sides with 2
teaspoons oil.
3.
Brush
pork with the remaining 2 teaspoons oil; sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper. Grill the pork, turning occasionally, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center registers 160 degrees F, 14 to 18 minutes.
4.
Meanwhile, place the peaches, cut-side down, on the grill rack. Grill, turning occasionally, until tender, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer the
pork and peaches to a cutting board. Let the peaches cool slightly while the pork rests.
5.
Whisk
ginger, brown sugar, vinegar and the remaining 1/8 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl. Chop the peaches and add them to the ginger sauce; stir to combine. Slice the pork on the diagonal into 8 pieces. Serve topped with the peach chutney.
Tip:
Tip: To peel peaches: Bring a medium saucepan of water to a boil. Immerse peaches in boiling water for 1 minute. Remove with a
slotted spoon and plunge into a bowl of ice water to cool slightly. Transfer to a cutting board. Remove the skins with a paring knife.
