Grilled Pork Chops with Black-eyed Peas, Grapefruit and Cashew Nuts
Cuisine
South American
Recipe Description
The mild pork taste and creamy texture of black-eyed peas is a long-loved flavour combo in South America and the south of the USA, appearing often on soul food menus. Here, the puréed legume makes a warming base for the tender meat, while the bright, citrus grapefruit tang and sharp onion add colour and kick.

Ingredient List
300 g (10½ oz) black-eyed peas, cooked
4 pork chops
3 grapefruits, segmented and juice reserved
½ red onion, sliced
100 g (3½ oz/⅔ cup) cashew nuts
20 ml (¾ fl oz) olive oil
Recipe Steps
Blitz 300 g (10 ½ oz) of the cooked black-eyed peas in a blender with 250 ml (8½ fl oz) water and salt to taste. Once blended, put it in a small saucepan over a very low heat.
In a large nonstick pan sear the pork chops over a high heat. If your pan isn’t big enough, do two at once and set them aside to rest while you do the other two. They should be seared for about 4 minutes on each side, rested for about 6 minutes, then flash-fried again just before serving.
While the pork is resting, in a bowl combine the grapefruit, onion and cashew nuts with the olive oil and grapefruit juice.
Slice the pork. Place a large spoonful of the warm bean purée on each plate, top it with the pork and then pile the salad to the side.
