Sounds pretty fancy, huh?\u00a0 Here is a recipe that I made last Sunday night and it came from epicurious<\/a>.com.\u00a0 I forgot we had guests coming over when I had planned the meal, so I just took one more package of pork chops out of the freezer that day.\u00a0 This recipe is good for just yourselves or guests.\u00a0 I make my Cilantro Ri<\/a>ce with it and some roasted root veggies.\u00a0 Yum!<\/p>\n

4 (3\/4-inch-thick) loin pork chops, trimmed<\/p>\n

For anise-seed rub:
\n1 tablespoon anise seeds
\n3\/4 teaspoon black peppercorns
\n1 1\/2 teaspoons salt
\n1 1\/2 teaspoons sugar
\n3 tablespoons olive oil<\/p>\n

For mango mojo:
\n1 mango, peeled and coarsely chopped
\n1\/4 cup fresh lime juice (about 2 limes)
\n1 large garlic clove
\n1 tablespoon chopped fresh jalape\u00f1o (including seeds – I skipped this part)
\n1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
\n2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro<\/p>\n

Prepare grill.<\/p>\n

Make mojo:
\nPur\u00e9e mango, lime juice, garlic, jalape\u00f1o, and salt in a blender, then stir in cilantro.<\/p>\n

Make rub:
\nFinely 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.<\/p>\n

Grill pork:
\nBrush both sides of pork with spice rub.\u00a0 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.<\/p>\n

Serve pork with mojo.\u00a0 I also like to mix the rice with the mojo…yummy!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
