Equipment

  • 1 grill

Ingredients
  

  • 3 tbsp butter
  • 1 tsp ancho chile powder
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 1-inch thick pork chops
  • 8 carrots, peeled and cut in half lengthwise

Instructions
 

  • Heat the grill to medium-high heat.
  • Melt the butter and mix in spices and salt. Drizzle half the butter mixture over the carrots, tossing the carrots with your hands to make sure they are thoroughly covered. Brush the remaining butter over both sides of the pork chops.
  • Char pork chops and carrots for five minutes on each side, then move them away from direct heat (with charcoal) or turn heat to medium (gas grill) and cover the grill for an additional three minutes. The carrots are probably fairly tender at this point and can be removed from the grill. The pork may need a few minutes more.
  • Sprinkle pork and carrots with sea salt to finish.
