Method

  1. Put the chops in a freezer bag or shallow dish with the marinade and smush everything together. You can leave for up to an hour but 15 minutes will be enough.
  2. Mix all the coleslaw ingredients in a big bowl. Leave for 20 minutes, mixing now and again so the dressing is completely covering everything. This will make more coleslaw than you need for two, but it's worth making a big batch as the ingredients are so cheap and it will keep for a few days in the fridge.
  3. Heat the grill to medium high. Grill the chops for 4 minutes each side, leaving as much marinade as possible. The chops should be just golden and charred on the edges but still juicy. Leave them to rest under foil for a few minutes after grilling. Serve the chops with the coleslaw and a handful of fat chips if you like.

    Have only made the coleslaw so far and it tastes and looks really good - however I did put a lot more dressing on than asked for. Perhaps I have used larger carrots, but there just wasn't enough dressing to go round. Served it with some cold roast ham.

    Pork was delicious - marinated for a couple of hours - although the cinnamon dominated the flavours - might add a bit less next time. I liked the coleslaw without too much dressing - did need lots of mixing though - just a very different consistency to the shop bought stuff.

    Very nice - added a thinly sliced apple to the coleslaw which went very well with the pork. Whole thing with rice rather than chips - delicious.

    I was really impressed with the marinade for the pork. I thought it might be a bit heavy on the ginger and cinammon, but it was lovely. I left mine in the fridge overnight before cooking. I also fried the pork in a little oil and butter, rather than grilling. The coleslaw was nice, but the quantities given make WAY too much, even to use up over the next few days from the fridge, and I made mine with three rather than four carrots! So unless you really really like coleslaw and you're going to be getting through it in a couple of days after this recipe - it really doesn't keep well for too long - I recommend at least halving the coleslaw quantities as you'd still have plenty to go on the side of the pork, and plenty over as well.

    Delicious! I added equal amount of creme fraiche to mayo to make it creamier and not so dry. I agree with Stevie B the coleslaw veg quantities are too much to eat in one week so i only shredded enough for the two of us (and i still did too much!). But going to use the left over cabbage and carrot to make a bubble n squeak tonight. Also dont be put off by the sound of ginger and cinnamon if they are ingredients you dont like, my partner claims to not like them both so I only added 3/4 of a teaspoon to be safe. After eating their plate clean I said what was in the marinade and they were amazed as they loved it and would have it again!

    Really tasty. Had to make a couple of substitutions for the marinade - had no ground ginger so used fresh instead (about a thumb sized piece of fresh ginger, grated). Used a lemon instead of lime. Left out the ground nut oil, so marinade was fat free. Left to marinate only about an hour, and was still really tasty.

    Made this tonight, was really nice. Only alterations I made were white wine vinegar instead of red and wholegrain mustard instead of dijon, as that's what I had in the cupboard. I also stopped at 2 carrots as it seemed enough. I griddled the chops (big juicy ones from the butcher) for roughly 5 minutes on each side, which about killed me with the smoke but the taste was excellent. Made http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/1263681/harissa-sweet-potato-wedges to go with, divine!
