CHILI-SEARED PORK WITH PINEAPPLE SALSA

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, combine the pineapple, tomato, lime juice, cilantro, and cumin. Toss to combine. Season with salt and black pepper, to taste. Set aside.
• Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season the pork slices all over with chili powder. Place the slices in the hot skillet and sear 1 minute per side, until golden brown.
• Serve the pork slices with Pineapple Salsa spooned over top alongside Sauteed Green Beans.

CHILI-RUBBED PORK CHOPS WITH GRILLED PINEAPPLE SALSA

Steps:

• In a shallow bowl, combine chili powder, brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt. Sprinkle both sides of pork with spice mixture.
• Prepare a grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate. Grill pork until internal temperature reaches 160 degrees F, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Grill pineapple (if using fresh) and jalapeno until lightly charred, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove chops from grill and let rest 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, dice pineapple and finely dice jalapeno. In a medium bowl, combine pineapple, jalapeno, and lime juice. Season to taste with salt.
• Bell peppers or zucchini, cooked on the grill with the rest of the meal, would be an easy and flavorful side dish. Grill-warmed tortillas would be nice, too. You can also make the recipe using bone-in center rib chops or boneless chops. You can make the salsa with grilled peaches, nectarines or mangoes. If you like, add chopped onion or cilantro to the salsa. Likewise, feel free to play with the rub ingredients to make the mixture your own.
