I make the salsa and season the pork in the morning so it's ready to throw on the grill later. For a spicier topping, I add jalapenos into the salsa. —Andrea Rivera, Westbury, New York
Ingredients:
• 3 tablespoons cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon salt-free steak grilling blend
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 4 bone-in pork loin chops (7 ounces each)
•
• SALSA:
• 2 medium mangoes, peeled and chopped
• 1 cup chopped sweet onion
• 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 2 teaspoons honey
Directions:
1. In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the vinegar, grilling blend and oil. Add the pork; seal bag and turn to coat. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
2. Drain and discard marinade. Grill chops, covered, over medium heat or broil 4-5 in. from the heat for 4-5 minutes on each side or until a thermometer reads 145°. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
3. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the salsa ingredients. Serve with chops.
