Grilled Pork Chops with Tomato Peach Relish

These grilled pork chops with tomato and peach relish offer a sophisticated balance of savoury, sweet, and spicy flavours. The succulent pork is marinated in zesty lime and garlic before being grilled to perfection, while the vibrant relish provides a refreshing contrast. Using seasonal stone fruit and vine-ripened tomatoes ensures a juicy, fragrant topping that elevates this simple grilled meat into something truly special for a summer evening.

As a diabetes-friendly main course, this dish focuses on lean protein and fresh, whole ingredients without sacrificing depth of flavour. The combination of fresh herbs, lime, and a hint of chilli creates a satisfying meal that is both heart-healthy and naturally low in saturated fats. Serve these chops at your next weekend barbecue or for a quick midweek dinner alongside a crisp green salad for a light yet filling option.

How to make Grilled Pork Chops with Tomato Peach Relish

Mince and mash garlic to a paste with 1/4 teaspoons salt. Transfer to a bowl and stir in oil and 45ml lime juice.

Pour marinade over chops in a glass or ceramic shallow baking dish, then turn to coat. Marinate at room temperature, turning over once, 20 minutes to 1 hour.

Chop peach, then toss with sugar and remaining teaspoon lime juice in a medium bowl and let stand 5 minutes.

Stir in tomatoes, spring onions, chilli, herbs, and vinegar. Let stand while grilling pork.

Prepare grill for direct-heat cooking over medium-hot charcoal (medium heat for gas).

Meanwhile, remove chops from marinade and pat dry, leaving any bits of garlic. Sprinkle chops on both sides with chilli powder, 3/4 teaspoons salt, and 1/4 teaspoons pepper (total).

Oil grill rack, then grill chops, covered only if using a gas grill, turning over once and moving to area with no coals underneath if flare-ups occur, until just cooked through, 12 to 15 minutes.

Serve chops with relish.
