Ingredients

Chutney

1 15-oz can sliced peaches in juice, drained and juice reserved
2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
2 Tbsp light brown sugar
2½ tsp gochujang
1 tsp ginger paste
2 tsp low-sodium soy sauce
1 tsp garlic paste
½ tsp toasted sesame oil
¼ tsp kosher salt
1 tsp cornstarch
1 tsp water

Pork

4 1-inch-thick boneless pork loin chops
1 tsp vegetable oil
1 tsp kosher salt
½ tsp freshly ground black pepper

Method

For the chutney: In a medium saucepan, combine the peaches, vinegar, sugar, gochujang, ginger paste, soy sauce, garlic paste, sesame oil, and ¼ tsp salt.
Cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture comes to a boil, about 5 minutes.
Using a wooden spoon, break peaches into small chunks and turn the heat down to low.
While the chutney simmers, pat the pork chops dry with a paper towel and lightly brush them with oil. Season on all sides with salt and pepper.
Transfer the pork chops to the basket and slide it into the air fryer. Set the unit to Air Fry at 400°F for 16 minutes, then press Start | Stop.
Remove the chutney from the heat.
Halfway through cooking time, the Shake alert will come on. Flip the pork chops, then slide the basket back into the air fryer.
Continue to cook until pork has reached at least 145°F. Larger chops may need another 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer the pork to a plate to rest.
Mix 1 tsp cornstarch and 1 tsp of water in a small bowl.
Put the chutney back over medium heat. Stir in cornstarch slurry and cook until bubbling and thickened, about 5 minutes. If chutney gets too thick, add some reserved peach juice to loosen it.
Serve the pork chops whole or sliced, topped with chutney.
