1. 1 mango, peeled and coarsely chopped
2. 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
3. 1 large garlic clove
4. 1 tablespoon chopped fresh jalapeno (including seeds)
5. 1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
6. 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro
7. 1 tablespoon anise seeds
8. 3/4 teaspoon black peppercorns
9. 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
10. 1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
11. 3 tablespoons olive oil
12. 4 (3/4-inch-thick) loin pork chops, trimmed




1. Prepare grill (do not spread charcoal out to edges of grill).
2. Make mojo: Puree mango, lime juice, garlic, jalapeno, and salt in a blender, then stir in cilantro.
3. Make rub: Finely grind anise seeds and peppercorns in an electric coffee/spice grinder with salt and sugar. Transfer mixture to a small bowl and stir in oil.
4. Grill pork: Brush both sides of pork with spice rub.
5. Grill pork on an oiled rack set 5 to 6 inches over glowing coals 2 minutes on each side. Move pork off to side of grill (not directly over coals; moderately low heat for gas grills) and cook pork, covered, turning once, until just cooked through, about 3 minutes more on each side.
6. Transfer to a platter and let stand, loosely covered, 5 minutes.
7. Serve pork with mojo.
