- 4 (1-inch-thick) boneless center-cut loin pork chops
- 1 1/2 cup finely chopped fresh pineapple
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
What to Do
- Combine chili powder, cinnamon, salt, and 2 teaspoons oil; stir to make a paste. Rub paste over pork chops; let stand while making salsa.
