Jamaican Jerk Pork Chops w/ Creamy Lime Salsa

This past weekend Em and I were standing in our local Schucks and couldn't decide on our last meal for the upcoming week (we normally decide and make a list for our meals before leaving for the store, it makes everything way easier/faster). As we were standing there in the middle of the produce it dawned on me that I was standing right beside a big recipe kiosk. Schnucks has a few of these kiosks in the store (mainly near the front) which I never really paid much attention to.

Obviously they were there to show people recipes that they could make, but I never tried them for some reason. Well, now I have, and I can say that the interface was super easy, they had a surprisingly wide variety of recipes to choose from (including some fairly unusual ones) and a great "print" feature. You click "print" and out pops the recipe on a card listing how to make everything, all of the ingredients, wine pairings, safe cooking warnings, nutritional information and where all of the ingredients are in the store. Pretty slick.

Tonights dinner was from that card ...

Steps

2. Rub jerk seasoning into pork chops and let marinate for a bit
3. Cook chops (Em broiled them until the thermometer went off at 160 F.)
4. Serve over rice, spoon salsa mixture over pork chop and accompany with a few slices of fresh mango

Thoughts

This meal was super easy and actually really good. I was a bit sceptical of the "Creamy Lime Salsa" since I am not much of a mayo guy (just a smidgen on my sandwich, no more) but ti was really good and we ended up pouring it over pretty much everything. The pork chops were a bit tough, but I don't think it had anything to do with the recipe. All in all, a fast new meal. Plus now we have a whole jar of jerk seasoning to try on other things.
