GRILLED PORK CHOP WITH SMASHED AVOCADO, ANCHO CHILLI AND ONIONS

Pork chops are great on the bbq as they get a wonderful smoky flavour which takes away some of the fattiness.  You need to move them around a bit on the bbq as the fat can cause a few flare ups. Simple and delicious.

Serves 2

Ingredients

2 good quality pork chops (200g each)

1 avocado

1 red onion, sliced thinly

1 clove garlic, crushed

¼ tsp ancho chilli powder or your favourite

1 lime

Olive oil

Handful fresh coriander, roughly chopped

Method

Heat the barbecue to hot.

Whilst the barbecue is heating up get your pork chops up to room temperature, season with salt and cracked pepper. Set aside.

To make the avocado salad.  Remove the avocado from the skin and mash lightly in a bowl with the lime juice.  Add the crushed garlic and chilli powder, season with salt and stir in enough oil to loosen up the avocado. Add the coriander.

To cook the pork chops, put them directly onto the hot grills and allow to sear on both sides so you get good char marks. If you find the bbq too hot, move your chops away from the hottest part and lower the heat so you cook them through.  They take about 5 minutes on each side.

Whilst they are cooking add the onion rings to the bbq and allow them to char lightly on each side (1 minute each side) and remove and add to avocado salad.

Serve the pork chops with the deliciously simple avocado salad.
