Pork chops are great value for money and can be jazzed up in many ways to make flavoursome meals. Pork chops with mango salsa is very easy to make and healthy, especially when served with a simple raw fennel and rocket salad. For hungrier appetites serve with rice mixed with sweetcorn and peas or noodles and broccoli tossed in a little sesame oil and sprinkled with sesame seeds. Choose a mango that’s ripe for the best flavour and juicy texture, it should just feel soft when gently pressed. We’ve coated the chops in sweet chilli sauce mixed with crushed coriander seeds for a sticky, spicy sweetness but if you have any mango chutney that can be used instead.

Top Tip for making Pork chops with mango salsa

The easiest way to prepare a mango is to cut off the two ‘cheeks’ either side of the large fibrous stone in the centre. Cut the flesh on each ‘cheek’ into squares, down to but not through the skin. Push the skin upwards to make a dome, the mango squares will pop up and you can just cut them away from the skin.
