Ingredients:

Serving

1 mango, peeled and coarsely chopped
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
1 large garlic clove
1 tbsp chopped fresh jalapeno (including seeds)
1 tsp salt , or to taste
2 tbsp finely chopped fresh cilantro
1 tbsp anise seeds
3/4 tsp black peppercorns
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp sugar
3 tbsp olive oil
4 (3/4-inch- thick) loin pork chops, trimmed

Directions:

Prepare grill (do not spread charcoal out to edges of grill).
Make mojo: 3Purée mango, lime juice, garlic, jalapeño, and salt in a blender, then stir in cilantro.
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.
Grill pork: Brush both sides of pork with spice rub.
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.

Serve pork with mojo.
Cooks' note: If your grill doesn't have a cover, use an inverted metal roasting pan.
