Jamie's pork chop relish

On the Weber site, Jamie Purviance does a red pepper and papaya relish for pork chops. He doesn't give the recipe for the relish. He just glosses over the ingredients. Anybody know where I can find the relish recipe on the internet?
 
If you can point me to whatever info there is on whatever site I can help you figure something out.
 
Took me a while to find it (and I had to join the site (hate that!) - but here we go:

3 T unseasoned (plain) rice vinegar

1.75 T sugar

4 scallions - white and light green part only, sliced very thin

1/2 medium jalapeño, ribs and seeds removed, minced very well (increase for additional heat and/or leave the seeds and placenta)

1/3 t ground cumin

salt and pepper (I would highly suggest using white pepper here, if available)

1 ripe papaya, halved, seeded, flesh diced

1 red bell pepper, halved, seeded, ribs and seeds removed, finely diced

1/3 t minced fresh thyme leaves (or 1/4 t dried)

1.5 t very finely minced fresh sage (or 1/2 t dried rubbed sage, lightly packed)

Or

1/4 minced fresh thyme leaves (or 1/8 t dried)

and

2.5 t minced fresh cilantro (do not use dried)



T = tablespoon; t = teaspoon



Combine the rice vinegar, sugar, sliced scallion, jalapeño, and cumin in a medium pot. Add a good sprinkling of kosher salt (maybe 1/2 t) and a turn or two of the white peppermill. Bring to a boil over med-high heat and, stirring often, cook till the liquid is slightly reduced and somewhat syrupy, about 3-5 min, depending on heat.

Add the diced papaya, finely diced red bell and the herbs; stir well. Reduce the heat to medium and cook, stirring often, till the juices exuded from the papaya and bell have combined with the syrup in the pot and reduced a bit - to the same consistency the juices alone were originally after cooking, i.e., a light syrup. Remove from the heat. Adjust salt and pepper. Done.

[This relish can be done ahead of time. Cool then chill. For service, rewarm slightly so the liquid is slightly viscous.]
 
Yeah. I get the purpose I and don't disagree withi ti business-wise. I just don't like having to to go through it for one thing. At least it was Purviance's stuff. He is one of a very few cook-authors in the genre who understands flavors, flavor development and flavor profiles well.

If you make it, let me know how it goes.

I made some relish last night. Didn't have all the ingredients per your recipe, but did have the basics. The red pepper and papaya are a nice combination with the chops, and this time I didn't over cook the pork chops.

Thanks for your time. Appreciate it.
 
No prob. I have an invite to the Conn Film Fest this week. (In Danbury.) If I make it, you cooking?
