Jerk Pork Chops
Complement these juicy, hot chops with green beans with bacon and onion, cornbread and sweet, fresh pineapple chunks sprinkled with shredded coconut.
Recipe Ingredients:
6 (4-ounce) boneless center-cut loin pork chops, about 1/2-inch thick

3/4 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
