Description
Our Cuban-style mango mojo could enhance any grilled meat, as could the anise-seed rub. Adding our grilled asparagus and herbed bulgur creates a well-rounded meal, but rice and green beans or broccoli would also work.
Prepare grill (do not spread charcoal out to edges of grill).
3Purée mango, lime juice, garlic, jalapeño, and salt in a blender, then stir in cilantro.
Finely grind anise seeds and peppercorns in an electric coffee/spice grinder with salt and sugar. Transfer mixture to a small bowl and stir in oil.
Brush both sides of pork with spice rub.
Grill pork on an oiled rack set 5 to 6 inches over glowing coals 2 minutes on each side. Move pork off to side of grill (not directly over coals; moderately low heat for gas grills) and cook pork, covered, turning once, until just cooked through, about 3 minutes more on each side.
Transfer to a platter and let stand, loosely covered, 5 minutes.
