Description
A Latin-inspired rub on the surface of these grilled chops is the perfect foil for a cool salsa of cucumber, mint and pineapple. Serve with green beans garnished with flaked coconut and toasted coriander seed, and hot rice. A chilled rose--a white Zinfandel or Merlot--will complement this menu.
