• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon ground paprika

For the Slaw:

• pinch sea salt

Method:

1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and remove your pork chops from the fridge.
2. Combine the teaspoon of salt, cumin, coriander and paprika in a small bowl and stir to combine
3. Divide the spice rub among the chops, making sure to coat both sides.
4. Grill chops for about 5 minutes on each side, or until almost cooked through.
5. Alternately, if you don’t have a grill, Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add your preferred cooking fat (lard would be a good choice here) Sear the chops for 5 minutes on each side, or until almost cooked through. Remove to a plate and cover loosely with foil, allowing them to rest for 10 minutes.
6. Meanwhile, prepare the slaw: Julienne fruit and place in a medium bowl. Mix in the chipotle powder, lime zest, lime juice, and a pinch of salt. Stir to combine.
7. Serve the chops topped with the slaw, or alongside for guests to help themselves.
