Combine the thyme, salt, cayenne, pepper, cinnamon, turmeric, lime juice, maple, tabasco and the spring onion. Place in a dish with the pork and coat them generously. Chill and allow to marinate for 6-8 hours. Before grilling, bring up to room temperature.

For the chutney: In a pot heat the oil and over a low flame cook down the onion and ginger. To the pot, add the curry powder, sugar and vinegar; stir well. Bring to the boil and add the tomatoes, peaches. Reduce the heat and stir. Keep the flame low and stir until all the liquid has evaporated. Add the lime juice and adjust seasoning to taste.

Heat a grill pan and brush with oil. Char the pork cutlets on both sides and transfer to an oven dish. Place in a pre-heated oven set at 180°C and cook for 15 minutes (until done). Allow to rest for 10 minutes and serve with a generous serving of the relish.
