Grilled Jalapeno Porkchops with Pineapple Salsa

Hello March!  I don't think I have ever been as ready for Spring as I am right now.  I have seen enough snow & blizzards to last at least a year.   I love grilling out on a nice spring evening.  This is one of our favorite dishes for this season.  The flavors are amazing. Hope you enjoy!

Grilled Jalapeno Pork Chops with Pineapple Salsa

Adapted from the Neelys on The Food Network

4 boneless pork chops
3 Tbs Hot Mustard Sauce
3 tsps diced jalapenos
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons minced red onions
Salt & Pepper

Season the chops with the salt and pepper, add chops and all other ingredients to a large ziplock bag.  Ensuring the bag is sealed toss bag a few times to ensure chops are coated.  Refrigerate for at least 3 hours or even better 24 hours.  30 minutes before grilling allow bag to rest at room temperature.  Grill chops for 5 to 8 minutes per side. Remove from grill and lightly tent for 10 minutes before serving. Serve with a drizzle of hot mustard and scoop of pineapple salsa (below).

Pineapple Salsa
1 cup of pineapple chunks, diced
1 tomato, seeded and diced
2 Tbs diced jalapenos
Juice of 1 lime
1/2 red onion, diced

Mix all together and allow it to marinade as long as the pork.  Can keep in a sealed container for a week.  It is wonderful on white fish and chicken.  I served it with baked sweet potatoes and grilled broccoli.
