Ingredients

  • For salsa:
  • 1 1 small pineapple, peeled, cored and diced (about 2 cups / 500 mL)

  • 1 1 medium orange, peeled and diced

  • 2 tbsp 30 ml fresh cilantro, minced

  • Juice of half a fresh lime

  • 2 tsp 10 ml minced garlic

  • 2 tsp 10 ml minced ginger

  • 2 tsp 10 ml ground coriander

  • 1/2 tsp 2 ml turmeric

  • 2 tbsp 30 anola oil (plus more to oil the grill)

  • 6 6 pork loin chops

Directions

  • Make salsa by combining pineapple, orange, cilantro and lime juice in bowl. Set aside. Can be prepped up to 2 days in advance and refrigerated.
  • Make rub for pork chops: In small bowl, combine brown sugar blend, garlic, ginger, cumin, coriander and turmeric. Do not omit turmeric as it lends a lovely yellow hue to this dish.
