Grilled Pork Chops With Anise-seed Rub And Mango Mojo Recipe

Add Step-by-Step Photos	Darbar / All my dishes 1 year, 3 months ago This Cuban-style mango mojo could enhance any grilled meat, as could the anise-seed rub. Adding grilled asparagus and herbed bulgur creates a well-rounded meal, but rice and green beans or broccoli would also work. Prep:25m Cook:15m Servings:4	Darbar

Ingredients

For mango mojo

1 mango, peeled and coarsely chopped

1/4 cup fresh lime juice

1 large garlic clove

1 tablespoon chopped fresh jalapeño (including seeds)

1 teaspoon salt, or to taste

2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro

For anise-seed rub

1 tablespoon anise seeds

3/4 teaspoon black peppercorns

1 1/2 teaspoons salt

1 1/2 teaspoons sugar

3 tablespoons olive oil

4 (3/4-inch-thick) loin pork chops, trimmed

Directions

Prepare grill (do not spread charcoal out to edges of grill).

Make mojo:

3Purée mango, lime juice, garlic, jalapeño, and salt in a blender, then stir in cilantro.

Make rub:

Finely grind anise seeds and peppercorns in an electric coffee/spice grinder with salt and sugar. Transfer mixture to a small bowl and stir in oil.

Grill pork:

Brush both sides of pork with spice rub.

Grill pork on an oiled rack set 5 to 6 inches over glowing coals 2 minutes on each side. Move pork off to side of grill (not directly over coals; moderately low heat for gas grills) and cook pork, covered, turning once, until just cooked through, about 3 minutes more on each side.

Transfer to a platter and let stand, loosely covered, 5 minutes.

Serve pork with mojo.
