For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a splash of rum to the salsa during the last few minutes of simmering. If you prefer a milder salsa, remove the seeds from the jalapeno before mincing. Leftover salsa is delicious served with grilled fish or chicken, or as a topping for tacos.

01 Step
Recipe View Prepare the Spice Paste: Using a mortar and pestle, grind the garlic, chili powder, cayenne pepper, and cardamom seeds into a fine paste. Add water, a drop at a time, to achieve a smooth consistency. (5 minutes)
02 Step
Recipe View Craft the Tropical Salsa: Heat the vegetable oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the spice paste and cook until fragrant and bubbling (about 30 seconds). Add the 1/4 cup rice wine vinegar, simmer gently for 2 minutes without boiling. Stir in the sugar until dissolved. Incorporate the mango, salt, cilantro, lemon juice, and jalapeno. Reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld. Stir in the applesauce and pineapple; continue to simmer for an additional 10 minutes. Season with a pinch of white pepper. Transfer to a bowl, cover, and refrigerate until needed. (40 minutes)
03 Step
Recipe View Marinate the Pork Chops: In a bowl, combine 2/3 cup of the prepared salsa with the soy sauce and 1/3 cup rice wine vinegar. Place the pork chops in a large resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over them. Ensure the chops are evenly coated. Seal the bag tightly and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 4 hours for a more intense flavor. (1 hour minimum)
04 Step
Recipe View Prepare the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Remove the pork chops from the marinade, reserving the marinade. Pour the reserved marinade into a saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat. This step ensures food safety and intensifies the flavor. (5 minutes)
05 Step
Recipe View Grill the Pork Chops: Lightly oil the grill grate to prevent sticking. Place the pork chops on the hot grill. Cook for approximately 10 minutes, or until they reach your desired level of doneness, flipping once halfway through. Baste the chops occasionally with the boiled marinade during grilling to keep them moist and flavorful. (10 minutes)
06 Step
Recipe View Serve: Warm the remaining salsa over low heat. Top the grilled pork chops generously with the warm tropical salsa and serve immediately. Enjoy the explosion of sweet, spicy, and savory flavors! (5 minutes)

Jul 18, 2023I found the salsa a bit too spicy for my taste, so I reduced the amount of jalapeno. It was perfect!
