Ingredients

Preparation 25 minutes, start to finish 1 hour

1/2 cup Rhubarb Chutney (recipe follows)
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, or to taste
Freshly ground pepper to taste
Four 4-ounce boneless pork chops, 1/2-inch thick, trimmed (see note)

Prepare Rhubarb Chutney. Preheat grill to medium-high.
Mix coriander, paprika, cinnamon, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Sprinkle evenly on both sides of each pork chop, rubbing to coat the meat thoroughly.
Lightly oil the grill rack (a handy way to do that is to oil a folded paper towel, hold it with tongs and rub it over the rack. Do not use a cooking spray on a hot grill). Grill pork chops over medium-high heat until browned and just cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Serve with chutney. Makes 4 servings.
