Yield: 4 servings
A terrific recipe sent along to me from the National Pork Board. Our family loved this recipe big time...
Ingredients:
CHOPS:
4 (3/4-inch thick) bone-in pork center loin chops, trimmed
1 Tablespoon chili powder
1 1/2 teaspoons packed light brown sugar
3/4 teaspoon garlic powder
3/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
PINEAPPLE SALSA:
3 (1/2-inch-thick) crosswise slices fresh pineapple, trimmed
1 medium jalapeno, halved lengthwise- seeds and veins removed
1 Tablespoon fresh lime juice
salt, to taste
Directions:
1. In a shallow bowl, combine chili powder, brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder and salt. Sprinkle both sides of the chops with the spice mixture. Let the chops sit at room temperature while you prepare the salsa.
2. Prepare a grill to medium-high hat and lightly oil the grate. Grill pineapple and jalapeno until lightly charred (2 to 3 minutes per side). Remove from the grill and dice pineapple and jalapeno. In a medium bowl, combine pineapple, jalapeno and lime juice. Season to taste with salt.
3. Grill pork until internal temperature reaches between 145 and 160 degrees F (4 to 5 minutes per side).
4. Serve chops with the grilled salsa on top.
