Grilled Pork Chops with Anise-Seed Rub and Mango Mojo

4.6(103)

Our Cuban-style mango mojo could enhance any grilled meat, as could the anise-seed rub. Adding our [grilled asparagus](/recipes/food/views/103567) and [herbed bulgur](/recipes/food/views/103568) creates a well-rounded meal, but rice and green beans or broccoli would also work.
