Grilled Pork Chops with Rhubarb Chutney
1/2 C. Rhubarb Chutney (recipe follows)
1 tsp. ground coriander
1 tsp. paprika
1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp. kosher salt, or to taste
Freshly ground pepper to taste
4 4-oz. boneless pork chops, 1/2 inch thick, trimmed (see Tips)
Prepare Rhubarb Chutney. Preheat grill to medium-high. Mix coriander, paprika, cinnamon, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Sprinkle evenly on both sides of each pork chop, rubbing to coat the meat evenly. Lightly oil the grill rack (see Tips). Grill pork chops over medium-high heat until browned and just cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Serve with chutney. Tips: If you can’t find thin pork chops, slice thick ones in half crosswise. To oil the grill rack: Dip a folded paper towel in a little canola oil; holding it with long-handled tongs, rub it over the grill rack.
