Instructions
- Heat a grill to medium-high and oil the grates; cut the pork into medallions, husk the corn, halve the zucchini, slice the Walla Walla onion into rings, dice the tomato, and finely chop the peach.
- In a small bowl, mash together the chopped peach, garlic, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, Dijon, smoked paprika, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and a few grinds of pepper to make a chunky glaze.
- Brush the pork, corn, zucchini, and onion with the remaining olive oil, then season the pork and vegetables lightly with salt and pepper.
- Grill the corn and onion for 10 to 12 minutes, turning occasionally, and grill the zucchini cut-side down for 4 to 5 minutes until charred and tender; transfer the vegetables to a cutting board as they finish.
- Grill the pork medallions for 3 to 4 minutes per side, brushing with peach glaze during the last 2 minutes, until the centers reach 145°F; transfer to a plate and rest for 3 minutes.
- Cut the kernels from the corn cobs and chop the grilled zucchini and onion; toss them in a bowl with the diced tomato, butter, a pinch of salt, black pepper, and optional hot sauce until glossy and warm.
- Spoon the grilled corn succotash onto plates, top with the rested peach-glazed pork, and drizzle over any remaining fresh peach glaze for serving.
