Pork chops are one of our favorite, easy-to-cook, versatile proteins for a quick weeknight dinner. For this recipe, the pork chops are rubbed with a brown sugar, curry powder, and cumin mixture before grilling in a grill pan (you can also use your grill if you prefer). All that's left is to make the salsa, which features peaches, scallions, jalapeños, fresh cilantro, lime juice, and ginger. Just toss it all together and serve alongside the pork, and dinner is ready to go. If you don't happen to have any peaches on hand, you can use nectarines or mangoes for the salsa.
