Ingredients

4 bone-in pork chops
1 Tbsp vegetable oil (optional)
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1/2 tsp chili powder (ground ancho or your favorite style)
1 tsp smoked paprika
1/2 tsp packed brown sugar
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
1 ripe mango, diced
1 cup cherry or grape tomatoes, chopped
1 small jalapeno, diced
1/2 small onion, diced
1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
1 teaspoon lime juice, or more to taste
1 teaspoon olive oil
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

Pat the pork chops dry on both sides with paper towels. Combine all of the spices for the dry rub in a small bowl, and coat the meat with the mixture on both sides. Place in a shallow baking dish without overlapping and set aside in the refrigerator or on the countertop for at least 20 minutes.
Preheat the grill, and oil the grates if necessary, to prevent sticking.
Combine all of the salsa ingredients in a medium-sized bowl, and adjust seasoning to taste. Keep in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
Grill the meat until it is cooked through to an internal temperature of at least 145°F, about 5 minutes on each side, depending on the thickness of the chops.
Serve pork chops topped with salsa.

1 ½ cups lemon juice

Categories main-dish

Time 1h15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

1/4 cup honey
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Eight 1/2-inch bone-in pork chops (about 3 ounces each)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

Begin by making the marinade. In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, oil, vinegar, cumin and red pepper flakes. Easy, right?
Sprinkle both sides of the pork chops with salt and pepper and place in a re-sealable plastic bag with the marinade. Let rest on the counter for 1 hour. That's easy.
Heat a grill or grill pan over medium heat. Remove the pork chops from the bag and lightly sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place on the grill and cook until the pork chop releases from the grill, about 4 minutes. Flip and cook on the other side for another 3 minutes. If using a grill pan, be sure to do in batches so you don't steam the chops. And don't worry if you have neither; you can do this in a pan. See, easy!

GRILLED PORK CHOPS WITH TOMATILLO SALSA

Grilled Pork Chops with Tomatillo Salsa image

Provided by Melissa Clark

Categories Food Processor Pork Broil Pork Chop Grill/Barbecue Tomatillo Bon Appétit

Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

12 tomatillos* (about 1 pound), husked, rinsed
4 garlic cloves, peeled
2 jalapeño chiles
2/3 cup finely chopped white onion
2/3 cup (lightly packed) chopped fresh cilantro
6 (1 1/4-inch-thick) pork rib chops (14 ounces each with bone)
1 garlic clove, peeled, halved
Coarse kosher salt
Extra-virgin olive oil (for brushing)
12 corn or flour tortillas
*Tomatillos are available at some supermarkets and at Latin markets. They have papery husks that should be removed before cooking. It's easiest to do this under running water so that you can rinse the fruit to remove the sticky coating.

Steps:

Preheat broiler. Place tomatillos, 4 whole garlic cloves, and jalapeños on rimmed baking sheet. Broil until tender and vegetables are slightly charred, turning occasionally, about 7 minutes for garlic and 8 minutes for tomatillos and jalapeños. Transfer to plate and let stand until cool enough to handle. Stem and seed jalapeños. Place tomatillos, garlic, jalapeños, onion, and cilantro in processor. Puree until almost smooth. Season tomatillo salsa with salt and pepper. DO AHEAD Salsa can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill. Return salsa to room temperature before serving.
Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Rub both sides of pork chops with halved garlic clove. Sprinkle with kosher salt and pepper; brush with oil. Grill until just cooked through, about 8 minutes per side. Transfer chops to plate; let rest 10 minutes. Grill tortillas until slightly charred, about 1 minute per side. Serve chops with tortillas and salsa.
