Pork with Peaches
Don’t know what to make for a chilly fall evening al fresco dinner with friends? This recipe is perfect!
This recipe adapted from Francis Mallman’s Seven Fires: Grilling the Argentine Way cookbook lends itself to variation. No peaches? No problem! Apples or pears work beautifully. I have even subbed in Trader Joe’s jarred mangoes when I haven’t had any other fruit on hand. Concerned about lowering saturated fat intake? Use olive oil instead of butter.
Francis Mallman’s Pork with Peaches: A Cozy Dinner Experience
There’s something magical about gathering friends on a chilly evening, warming the night with food, laughter, and the comfort of cozy surroundings. One dish that embodies this spirit is Francis Mallman’s Pork with Peaches. Grilling pork over an open flame with the sweetness of caramelized peaches brings out rustic flavors, creating a memorable dining experience.

It’s important to note that many people may abstain from pork due to personal preference or cultural or religious beliefs, so it’s always good to offer alternative proteins or plant-based options to ensure all guests are nourished and feel welcome.
For those who do enjoy pork, lean cuts like pork tenderloin offer excellent nutrition benefits.

By choosing leaner cuts, you can enjoy the indulgence of pork without excessive fat, making it a nutritious and satisfying choice for a balanced meal.
