Time 33m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 nectarines, pitted and diced
1 ripe tomato, seeded and diced
¼ cup diced onion
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, or to taste
salt to taste
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon chili powder
salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
8 (4 ounce) boneless pork loin chops

Steps:

  • Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat. Lightly oil grate, and set 4 inches from the heat.
  • To make the salsa, place the nectarines, tomato, onion, cilantro, lime juice, and red pepper flakes in a bowl; toss to blend. Season to taste with salt. Cover, and refrigerate 30 minutes to blend flavors.
  • Stir the cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper together in a small bowl. Place the olive oil in a small bowl. Brush the pork chops with oil, and season both sides evenly with the cumin mixture.
  • Place pork loin chops on the preheated grill. Cook until lightly browned and juices run clear, about 4 minutes on each side. Place pork chops on serving plates, and top with a generous spoonful of salsa.
