PEACH AND RED ONION RELISH WITH GRILLED PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• In a small bowl of ice water, soak onion for 10 minutes; drain, blot dry, and return to bowl. Add peaches, honey, lemon juice, and cayenne; season with salt and pepper. Let stand 15 minutes. If storing, cover and refrigerate up to 1 day.
• Heat grill to medium-high; lightly oil grates. Season pork chops with salt and pepper. Grill, turning once, until cooked through, 10 to 12 minutes. Top with peach relish and serve.

TOMATO, PEACH AND RED ONION SALSA

Steps:

• In a large bowl, gently toss together the diced tomatoes, peaches, red onion, minced herbs, jalapeno, vinegar and 1/4 cup of the olive oil. Add fine sea salt and pepper to taste. Let stand at room temperature while preparing the bread.
• Mix the remaining 1/3 cup olive oil with the garlic in a small bowl. Cut the bread into 16 to 24 1/2-inch slices. Brush one side of each slice with the garlic oil. (If a heat source is available, grill or toast the slices until golden brown on both sides.) Place the bread slices on a serving platter. Top each slice with sunflower sprouts, then with a generous spoonful of the salsa. Sprinkle each with a pinch of kosher salt. Serve immediately as an appetizer.
