Ingredients

Directions

  1. Step 1

    Make salsa by combining pineapple, orange, cilantro and lime juice in bowl. Set aside. Can be prepared up to 2 days in advance and refrigerated.

  2. Step 2

    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.

  3. Step 3

    Brush both sides of pork chops with canola oil and apply rub to both sides.

  4. Step 4

    Preheat barbecue to medium-high. Place pork chops on grill for about 5 minutes per side or until cooked to internal temperature of 160 °F (70 °C).

  5. Step 5

    Serve each chop accompanied with 1/3 cup (75 mL) salsa.
