Why This Recipe Works

Frozen mango is always ripe and already peeled, making this salsa a quick and delicious side to the pan-seared pork.

  1. Combine mango, 3 tablespoons oil, lime juice, jalapeño, and mint in bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  2. Pat chops dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper. Heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil in 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until just smoking.
