details
- Serves 4
- Prep time: 15 minutes
- Total time: 30 minutes
- 4 pork loin chops (about 1/2 pound each, cut 1 inch thick)
- 2 ripe pears (one red and one green for color), cored and cut into bite-sized slices
- 2 tablespoons minced red onion
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon adobo sauce from canned chipotle peppers
directions
Warm up a grill over medium heat. Oil the grates.
Season the pork chops with salt and pepper. Place on the well-oiled grill and cook for 5-7 minutes per side, until meat is no longer pink in the middle.
Meanwhile, stir all of your ingredients together in a medium sized bowl.
Serve the mixture over the grilled pork. (I also like to serve this dish with a side of couscous.)
Note: if you don’t have a grill, you can also cook these under the broiler. Heat broiler with rack set 4 inches from heat. Season pork with salt and pepper. Place on a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil and cooking spray; cook for about 5-6 minutes per side.
