Jamaican Jerk Pork Chops with Island Salsa

“In Jamaica, the jerk method of food preparation involves seasoning meat with a sweet-hot secret mixture of peppers, tropical spices like cinnamon and allspice, rosemary and other savory herbs then slow grilling or roasting. This specially created spice blend captures the tantalizing taste of the islands in just 35 minutes.”

Very good! Has a nice kick, but it was a bit much for my younger kids. I served it over pasta, but it would probably be even better over brown rice.

I love this recipe! It's sweet and spicy and tastes great over rice. Some variations I've tried: instead of pork chops, I use fresh, cubed chicken breast and stir it all together like stir-fry. Instead of pineapple, I used canned mangoes. It's delicious no matter how I make it!

This was a great dish. I always get a litte nervous about trying new dishes out on my husband but he really liked it and said I should make it again. I used pork chop on the bone so I had to triple the flour and seasoning mix in order to have enough for the sauce for them to simmer in.

Wasn't that crazy about this recipe, but since have adapted the salsa ingredients and mixed them with rice as a nice side dish with grilled chicken or pork tenderloin. We love it!Sometimes add chopped mango to the rice too.

This was pretty good. I used chicken instead of pork. My fiance liked it well enough he just likes some of the other things I've made better. It was easy to make and I will probably make it again with the pork.

What a wonderful recipe! I loved the salsa and my family thought they were great too! Will definitely make again and also try with chicken.

YUM! I have made this recipe twice now, and my guests both times raved about it. I premixed the peppers, pineapple, and beans and let sit in the fridge for a couple of hours so that the flavors would meld. I have tried this with both chicken and pork chops and both ways were great. Serve over white rice. Make sure you have plenty of milk handy because the jerk seasoning provides quite a kick!

I've always been wary about mixing fruit with meat, it just sounds wierd. This is the first recipe I've tried with that combo and I have to say it is DELICIOUS! The only change I made is that I grill the chops, then simmer in the salsa. Also, adding orange peppers accentuates the beautiful array of colors. I will definitely make this a regular dish!

My husband wants me to make this again. He liked it very much. I thought it was easy to make. It tasted much better as leftovers the next day. The flavors were much more distinct
