Directions

PORK CHOPS:

In small bowl, combine dry rub ingredients, rub onto both sides of pork chops. Set aside overnight or for 30 minutes.

(This tastes even better when done on a charcoal grill) Spray light coat of cooking spray on non stick pan. Heat pan over medium flame. Place pork chops on hot pan and cover. Cook for about 7 minutes per side.

MANGO SALSA:

Combine ingredients in bowl.

PLANTAINS:

Spray non stick pan generously with cooking spray. Heat pan over medium heat.

Remove peels from plantains but cutting each tip off and then cutting a slit down the side.

Slice plantains on the diagonal about 1/2 inch thick each slice. Place slices in hot pan so that they do not overlap and cook until golden brown on each side (about 2 or 3 minutes per side.)
