Instructions
 

For the Brine:

  • Combine all the ingredients except the pork and the beer to create the brine mixture. Bring to a simmer and then add the ice and beer to help cool down the brining liquid. You don’t want to cook out the delicious beer flavor. Once the brine is cooled enough you can add the pork chops to brine for about 2-3 hours. If you have place a plate over the chop in order to maintain them submerged during brining.

For the Classic Buttermilk Mash Potatoes:

  • Place the peeled cut potatoes and 1 teaspoon of the salt in a pot, add enough water to cover, and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to moderate and simmer until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork, about 45 minutes.
  • Drain the water and then mash the potatoes with a potatoes masher or if you have mixer with a paddle attachment. Add the warmed buttermilk, melted butter and season to taste.

How to Build the Plate:

  • First put down a scoop of mashed potatoes on a plate and make a little well so that you can scoop the succotash into it. Right on top of the succotash place the pork chop and then As much glazed peaches as you like with a little of the glaze syrup top of the the chop as a sauce.
