Method

Who said you can't have a nice yummy dinner after a days work! With not much to do.
No fuss , but yet so delicious and a colorful plate. If you want the taste to be more intense I suggest that you marinade the chops for at least 30 minutes before cooking. Get all the ingredients ready and prepare the marinade first. Get a small bowl and mix in the Cajun spice, olive oil and lime, season. Get a brush and using the marinade, brush both sides of the pork chops. Use all the marinate , cover with cling film and leave in the fridge for 30 minutes. Turn your grill on low and put the chops in. Turn them half way through. They should take about 15/20 minutes to cook. But this will be determined with the thickness of your meat. You don't want to over cook them, as they will be dry therefore chewy.
While the pork is cooking away in your grill, you can start your salad.  Open the tin of sweet corn and drain. Add in a salad bowl, chop the tomatoes, cucumber and onion. Add with the sweet corn in the bowl. Add the flakes of dried chili, the oil and season to your taste. Serve on the side with your chops. There you go dinner is served. You can now chill and enjoy your evening. Maybe with a nice glass of wine .
