Peach Barbecue Pork Chop

Last week we got our first green beans from the CSA, and I made a very specific Friday night dinner request of Craig. I asked for green beans and pork chops and grilled sweet potato. Craig took that and ran with it. He made a Bobby Flay recipe for the pork chops, rubbing them with coriander and black pepper and cumin and allspice, and topping them with a peach-tomato sauce that was so good I'd drink it out of a glass! The beans were sauteed with mushrooms, and for the finishing touch, Craig grilled peaches--my first grilled peaches but definitely not my last! A meal like that called for good wine, so we drank a bottle of La Grola 2004 Allegrini, which was also amazing.
I'm going to use the leftover peach-tomato sauce with rice in my quick weeknight dinners, but I think it would be really good on top of pancakes, especially if you tweaked the pancake recipe a little and added cornmeal or something savory.
