Spicy Jerk Pork Chops
- 2 Tbs. extra-virgin olive oil; more for the pan
- 4 bone-in center-cut pork chops (3/4 inch thick, about 2-1/2 lb. total)
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 4 medium scallions (white and green parts), coarsely chopped
- 2 small Scotch bonnet or habanero chiles, seeded and coarsely chopped (wear gloves)
- 2 small limes, 1 juiced and 1 cut into 8 wedges
- 2 large cloves garlic, coarsely chopped
- 2 Tbs. coarsely chopped fresh ginger
- 1 Tbs. coarsely chopped fresh thyme
- 3/4 tsp. ground allspice
- 1/8 tsp. ground cinnamon
- Position an oven rack about 4 inches from the broiler and heat the broiler to high. Lightly oil a broiler pan or a rack set over a large rimmed baking sheet.Season the pork all over with 1 tsp. salt and 3/4 tsp. pepper. In a food processor, puree the oil, scallions, chiles, lime juice, garlic, ginger, thyme, allspice, cinnamon, and 1 tsp. salt. Coat the chops on all sides with the mixture and set on the broiler pan or rack. Broil until the pork begins to brown, about 7 minutes. Flip and cook until browned, the meat is firm to the touch, and an instantread thermometer inserted close to (but not touching) the bone registers 145u0b0F, about 7 minutes more. Serve with the lime wedges.
