Lunch: Grilled Pork Chops with Mango Sauce

A smoky, but still sweet, mango sauce adds brilliant, sunny color and a kick of flavor to these simply grilled pork chops.

Ingredients

1 tbsp. vegetable oil
1 small onion
1 chipotle chile in adobo
1/4 tsp. dried oregano
2 large ripe mangoes
2 tbsp. water
1 tbsp. packed brown sugar
4 bone-in pork loin or rib chops
salt
Pepper
1 green onion
1/4 c. fresh cilantro leaves

Instructions

Prepare outdoor grill for covered direct grilling on medium.
Prepare mango sauce: In 12-inch skillet, heat oil on medium-high. Add onion and cook 2 to 3 minutes or until browned, stirring occasionally. Add chipotle and oregano; cook 1 minute, stirring. Add mangoes, water, and sugar; cook 10 minutes or until mangoes are soft, stirring occasionally.
Meanwhile, sprinkle pork with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper to season both sides. Grill, covered, 8 to 9 minutes or until browned outside and still slightly pink inside, turning over once.
Transfer pork chops to cutting board; let rest 5 minutes.
Spoon mango sauce over pork. Garnish with green onion and cilantro.
