I was inspired by this recipe:
Chipotle Pork Tenderloin with Red Currant Salsa - FoodFit.com
Here is my interpretation:
Rub Pork Chops generously with
- Penzey's Northwoods Fire seasoning
- Chipotle Powder
- 1 tsp Fresh chopped Rosemary
Let chops rest while you make the salsa.
Salsa
- 1/2 cup Red Currants
- about 20 more whole currants (for texture)
- 1 Jalapeno (leave seeds in for a kick)
- 1 Shallot
- 1 tsp garlic chives
- 1 tsp parsley
- zest of 1/2 Lime
- 1/2 tsp Sugar
Push 1/2 cup Red Currants through a fine mesh sieve so that the thick juices run out. Lightly sweeten the juice with 1/2 tsp sugar. To the juice, add the whole currants and a fine dice of the remaining ingredients.
Pan sear chops to medium or medium rare. Top with red currant salsa.
Try this on the smoker with apple and cherry wood for a more complex flavor, too.
