Simple, juicy, and full of comforting flavors, the Jamie Oliver 5 Ingredients Pork Chops is one of those weeknight wonders that feels special but takes barely any time. The sweet peaches and smoky bourbon elevate the dish, while the rosemary and garlic add that rustic charm. It’s crispy, saucy, and perfectly balanced. (inspired by Jamie Oliver)

Ingredients Needed

• 2 x 250g pork chops with rind
• 4 cloves garlic
• 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
• 1 x 410g tin peach halves in juice
• 50ml bourbon

How To Make Jamie Oliver 5 Ingredients Pork Chops

1. Preheat the Grill: Turn on your grill to high.
2. Crisp the Crackling: Slice off the rind from the pork chops and score the fat in a criss-cross. Place skin-side up on a tray and grill for 5 minutes until golden and crispy. Keep an eye on it so it doesn’t burn.
3. Cook the Chops: Score the remaining fat on the chops. Season well. Start the pork chops fat-side down in a cold non-stick frying pan. Turn heat to high and render the fat for 3–4 minutes. Then lay flat and cook 5 minutes on each side. Remove and set aside.
4. Garlic, Rosemary & Peaches: Drain most of the fat from the pan. Thinly slice the garlic, and strip the rosemary leaves. Add both to the pan, stirring until fragrant. Add four peach halves (drained), flat-side down. Let them caramelize.
5. Finish with Bourbon: Return the chops to the pan. Pour in the bourbon, and carefully light it with a match. Let the alcohol burn off. Spoon sauce over the chops and serve with crispy crackling.
