Preparation

Step 1

Preheat grill to medium-high. Brush grill grate with oil.
For the pork chops, mix together oil, garlic, thyme, rosemary, paprika, and cayenne. Season pork chops with salt and black pepper, then rub each side with garlic mixture.
For the salsa, combine pineapple, bell pepper, scallions, onion, olives, capers, jalapeño, and cilantro; season with salt.
Grill pork chops, covered, until edges begin to brown, about 4 minutes. Flip chops and grill until an instant-read thermometer inserted near (but not touching) the bone registers 145°. Remove chops from grill and let rest 3–5 minutes. Serve chops with salsa and rice.
