Allspice and mango bring Caribbean flair to this quick dish. The salsa, redolent of mint, also packs a bit of heat thanks to a dusting of crushed red pepper.

Make sure to use a thick chop. I used a thin one the first time, and it wasn't as good. This recipe is a keeper!

Easy, fast and very tasty! We all LOVED this recipe. It will go into regular rotation. I served it with sauteed kale (tossed with 1 teaspoon olive oil and 2 minced cloves). The whole meal was less than 400 calories!

My family loved these pork chops! I have one person doing Weight Watchers, one using fitnesspal.com and one picky 9 year old and everyone loved it! Quick, easy and when my husband couldn't find the pepper flakes he substituted cayenne pepper. Really good.

I was really worried about the mango salsa, but I followed the recipe exactly and the entire meal was GREAT. The mint and mango goes well with the pork. We cooked pork chops with roasted asparagus and sweet potatoes (incl with original feature), which made for a wonderfully colorful, yummy meal. We will definitely make again and our family loved it.
