Name: Grilled Pork Chops with Pineapple Salsa
Cook time: 35 min
Total time: 40 min
Yield: Makes 4 servings
Ingredients: 1 tablespoon vegetable oil; 2 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin; 1/2 teaspoon black pepper; 1 1/2 teaspoons salt; 4 (1-inch-thick) bone-in rib pork chops (about 2 1/4 lb total); 1/2 pineapple, peeled, cored, and cut into 1/4-inch dice (1 1/4 cups); 1/2 cup finely chopped red onion; 1 fresh serrano chile, minced, including seeds; 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

Cumin and time over the coals give these hearty thick-cut pork chops deep flavor. A spicy-sweet tropical salsa made with fresh pineapple balances the dish.

Cooks' note:

If you can't grill outdoors, pork chops can be cooked on a lightly oiled well-seasoned large (2-burner) ridged grill pan over moderately high heat, turning over once, about 12 minutes total.
