    Good recipe. Takes a bit of time. As the first poster said, it's really easy to burn the peanuts, I just added them once the bacon looked about 50% of the way cooked. Also I marinated the pork chops in the jerk sauce longer, which I think helped a lot.

    What a treat this was to cook and eat. This is the first recipe I've tried from the book, and I was very intrigued by the combination of flavors--pickle brine, peanut butter, bacon?! A few callouts--Samuelsson has you fry the peanuts and bacon together, which even on medium heat still resulted in my peanuts starting to burn. I scooped them out quickly, but next time, would simply cook them briefly in the bacon fat after the bacon is finished. I did not make a full recipe of jerk sauce, since this recipe only calls for 2T. Instead, I winged it, eyeballing the proportions as best I could. And you know what? Those 2T of jerk sauce were SCRUMPTIOUS. I will make the full recipe next time! I also think it would be nice if the pork chops got to marinate in that delicious jerk sauce for a few hours. The peanut bacon sauce doesn't turn out as dark as in the photo, but it is delicious, well-balanced with the acidity of the pickles and brine adding a really lovely extra dimension. A lovely meal.
