Zubereitung von Charred Bourbon Apple Pork Chops
- **Prepare the Pork Chops:** Season 4 (1-inch thick) bone-in pork chops generously with salt and pepper.
- **Sous Vide the Pork:** In a vacuum seal bag, combine the pork chops with 1/2 cup apple cider, 1/4 cup bourbon, 1/4 cup apple juice, 1 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp ground cinnamon, 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg, and 1/4 tsp ground cloves. Vacuum seal and sous vide at 62°C (143°F) for 1 hour.
- **Make the Peach Mostarda:** In a medium saucepan, toast 1/4 cup mustard seeds over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, until fragrant.
- Add 2 cups peeled and chopped peaches, 1/2 cup white wine vinegar, 1/4 cup sugar, 1/4 cup water, and a pinch of salt to the saucepan. Simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until the peaches are tender.
- **Blend the Mostarda:** Carefully transfer the mixture to a blender (immersion or standard) and blend until smooth. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve for a smoother consistency. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Chill thoroughly.
- **Prepare the Charred Peaches:** Combine 4 ripe peaches, halved and pitted, with 1 tbsp brown sugar and 1 tsp vanilla extract in a vacuum seal bag. Seal and let sit for at least 1 hour (or up to overnight).
- **Char the Peaches:** Remove peaches from bag, reserving the liquid and vanilla bean. Lightly brush peaches with olive oil. Char the cut sides on a hot griddle or flat top until nicely marked, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- **Sear the Pork Chops (Optional):** After sous vide, sear the pork chops in a hot skillet with 1 tbsp butter for 1-2 minutes per side, until golden brown.
- **Assemble and Serve:** Plate the seared pork chops, top with a generous spoonful of chilled peach mostarda, and serve alongside the charred peaches. Garnish with fresh thyme or rosemary (optional).
