Mango Salsa & Pork Chops
Mango Salsa & Pork Chops are a perfect complement, blending tender grilled pork with sweet, sour and spicy fresh salsa.
Ingredients
Salsa
- 1 mango large, peeled, seeded and chopped
- 1/4 cup red onion chopped, about 1 small red onion
- 1 red bell pepper stem and seeds removed, chopped
- 1 avocado skin and pit removed, chopped
- 1/4 cup cilantro chopped, about 1/2 a bunch
- 1 lime
- 1/2-1 teaspoon cayenne to taste
- Salt to taste
Pork chops
- 4 pork chops
- Salt, pepper to taste
Instructions
- Put chopped mango, bell pepper, avocado, red onion and cilantro in a medium bowl. Season with cayenne and salt, then top with juice from one lime. Mix, then sample and adjust seasonings to taste.
- Sprinkle pork chops on both sides with salt and pepper.
- Spray an oven proof pan (ideally a grill pan) with non-stick cooking spray. Fry pork chops until they are golden (and have char lines if in grill pan), then turn (about 5 minutes). Move pan to 400 F oven and continue cooking until pork chop reaches 145F on an instant read meat thermometer, about 5-10 more minutes depending on thickness.
