How to Make Quick Curried Chops And Fruity Relish

**Prepare the Curry Paste:** In a bowl, combine 2 tablespoons curry powder, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1 teaspoon ground coriander, 1/2 teaspoon turmeric, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional), 2 cloves garlic (minced), and 1 inch ginger (grated).
**Marinate the Chops:** Add 4 boneless pork chops (about 1 inch thick) to the paste. Toss to coat thoroughly and set aside for at least 15 minutes (longer is fine).
**Make the Fruity Relish:** Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add 1/2 cup chopped onion and 1 jalapeño pepper (seeded and minced) and cook for 1 minute.
Add 1 cup diced apple, 1/2 cup golden raisins, 1 cup loosely drained crushed pineapple (reserve 2 tablespoons of juice), 1 tablespoon grated ginger, and 2 tablespoons brown sugar. Cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally.
**Adjust Consistency:** If the relish seems too dry, add 1-2 teaspoons of the reserved pineapple juice.
**Tender Apples:** Cook until apples are tender but not mushy (about 10-12 minutes).
**Finish the Relish:** Stir in 1/2 cup chopped plums and 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar. Cook for 5 more minutes.
**Season & Taste:** Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
**Grill the Chops:** Preheat your indoor grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Remove excess paste from chops.
**Grilling Time:** Grill chops for 3 minutes per side, rotating 90 degrees halfway through, for a nice sear. For a grill pan, cook 3 minutes per side.
**Serve:** Serve 1 chop per person with a generous scoop of the fruity relish. Enjoy!
