The National Pork Board sent me some pork chops along with this recipe. They wanted me to try it and share it with my readers. I was pretty curious about the whole thing, since I pretty much kill every pork chop that I try to make. So I decided to give the recipe a go.
Spices needed for Chili Rubbed Pork Chops:
chili powder onion powder garlic powder salt brown sugar
Just mix up the spices and you’ve got the rub for your chops.
Rub those chops and let them sit…
… while you grill the fresh pineapple and jalapenos. Once these have some nice grill marks on them, you’re going to chop them up and mix with a little bit of lime juice and salt to create a simple, grilled pineapple salsa.
Grill the chops on your stovetop grill (or outdoors, if you’re ready for that!) I love this indoor grill- the nonstick surface makes it a snap to clean.
And there it is… the grilled pork chop topped with grilled pineapple salsa!
My family nearly applauded when they tasted these for the first time. The pork is tender as can be. Finally, this is one recipe where I don’t kill the pork chops. And that grilled pineapple salsa you see on top is pretty wonderful too.
