Cumin-Crusted Monster Pork Chop with Peach Chipotle SalsaStephen Sullivan; food and prop styling: Roscoe Betsill

This Latin-inspired combination of flavors works well with smoky grilled pork, and the crispy cumin crust is complemented by both the heat and sweetness in the salsa. These thick-cut chops taste just as good cold — if there are any left.
