what you need
- 12 tomatillos (about 1 pound), husked, rinsed
- 4 garlic cloves, peeled
- 2 jalapeno chiles
- 2/3 cup finely chopped white onion
- 2/3 cup (lightly packed) chopped fresh cilantro
- 6 (1 1/4-inch thick) pork rib chops (14 oz. each with bone)

- Coarse kosher salt
- Extra-virgin olive oil (for frushing)

make it
Preheat broiler. Place tomatillos, 4 whole garlic cloves, and jalapenos on rimmed baking sheet. Broil until tender and vegetables are slightly charred, turning occasionally, about 7 minutes for garlic and 8 minutes for tomatillos and jalapenos. Transfer to plate and let stand until cool enough to handle. Stem and seed jalapenos. Place tomatillos, garlic, jalapenos, onion and cilantro in processor. Puree until almost smooth. Season tomatillo salsa with salt and pepper.
Prepare grill on medium-high heat. Rub both sides of pork with halved garlic clove. Sprinkle with kosher salt and pepper; brush with oil. Grill until just cooked through, about 8 minutes per side. Transfer chops to plate; let rest 10 minutes.
Grill tortillas until slightly charred, about 1 minute per side. Serve chops with tortillas and salsa.
Notes
* Salsa can be made up to one day ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Return to room temperature before serving.
