Caribbean-Spiced Grilled Pork Chops

• 1 teaspoon allspice berries
• 1 teaspoon black peppercorns
• One 1-inch piece of cinnamon stick
• 1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
• 1/2 cup finely chopped scallions
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh ginger
• 1 Scotch bonnet chile, seeded and minced
• 2 tablespoons chopped garlic
• 2 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
• 2 teaspoons sugar
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• Four 1-pound double-cut pork rib chops, about 4 inches thick
• 2 teaspoons vegetable oil

1. In a spice grinder of coffee mill, grind the allspice, peppercorns, cinnamon and nutmeg to a powder.

5. Light a charcoal grill or preheat the oven to 500.
6. Scrape some of the marinade from the pork chops, leaving a light layer, and rub the chops with the oil.
