Broiled Pork Chops with Warm Nectarines

Source: Pacific Coast Farmers Market

1 teaspoon rum (optional)
4 nectarines, pitted, peeled and halved
4 loin pork chops, trimmed of extra fat
1/4 teaspoon coriander seeds
1/4 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon freshly-ground black pepper
1/4 cup cider vinegar

Put the pork chops, coriander, cumin, and pepper in a ziplock plastic bag and add the vinegar and optional rum. Fasten the bag and place in the refrigerator for 8 hours or overnight to marinate.

When ready to cook, preheat a broiler. Place the chops on a broiling pan, along with the nectarines.

Place the pan about 6 inches below the heat source. Broil 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove and serve hot.

Makes 4 servings.
