Five Spice Pork Chops

Thanks again, Bostrom's Farm, for some of the tastiest pork products I've ever eaten. I'm fairly sure Bostrom's will be a vendor at the Greenfield Farmers Market this year. I very much hope to see them on Saturday, as we are now totally out of pork chops, bacon, and sausage.

Here is a super simple preparation for pork chops that I made last night. You can get five-spice powder at Green Fields Market and many well-stocked supermarkets. It is a combination of star anise, fennel seed, cinnamon, cloves, and black pepper.

Pork chops (1 good sized chop per person), trimmed of excess fat
Chinese five spice powder
Salt

Preheat the broiler or grill. Rub each side of each chop with 1/8 - 1/4 tsp five spice powder and sprinkle with salt. Broil or grill for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches about 140 degrees.
