green onions, coarsely chopped
2
jalapeño peppers,* seeded and chopped
2
tablespoons brown sugar
1
tablespoon dried thyme leaves
1/2
teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2
teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2
teaspoon ground allspice
1/2
teaspoon ground cloves
1/2
teaspoon black pepper
6
pork chops (5 to 6 ounces each)
Preparation:
1.
Combine onions, jalapeños, sugar, thyme, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, cloves and black pepper in food processor; process until onions and jalapeños are finely chopped.
2.
Trim fat from pork; discard. Rub both sides of pork with spice mixture.
3.
Preheat broiler. Place pork on broiler pan. Broil, 2 to 3 inches from heat, 5 to 6 minutes per side or until pork is barely pink in center.
