Introduction

This is a dish that is packed with flavor, yet easy and light. Perfect for that dinner guest, or bbq. Pair it with black bean salad in my recipe book, and you have a super dish. Top with pork with mangos if desired. This is a dish that is packed with flavor, yet easy and light. Perfect for that dinner guest, or bbq.

Ingredients

2 T. grated lime peel

1 T. cumin seed (or 1t. ground cumin)

1 T. cracked black pepper

1/2 t. salt

2 T. olive oil

1 clove garlic, finely chopped

4 boneless pork loin or rib chops, about 1 inch thick (2 pounds)---or whole loin.

mango slices to garnish

Directions

Mix all ingredients except pork loin to make a rub.
Rub into loins and let set covered in refrigerator for a bit. More time=more intensity in flavor.
Over hot grill, cook 4-6 minutes, turning frequesntly, itil pork is no longer pink. (it should feel like the bottom of your palm, under your thumb, when you make a light first.)

***I have cooked these (loins) in the oven middle rack under the broiler turning once until done.
