Prepare the Deli-Style Coleslaw: Whisk together the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, sugar, parsley, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl. Add the slaw and toss to coat thoroughly. Then, refrigerate the coleslaw for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Prepare the Tamarind Habanero Glaze: Combine the tamarind paste, honey, chopped habanero peppers, soy sauce, minced garlic, and water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the glaze thickens slightly. Then, remove from heat and set aside.
For the Grill Pan, Cook the Pork Chops: Season the pork chops with salt and pepper on both sides. Heat the olive oil in a large grill pan over medium-high heat. Then, add the pork chops to the pan and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 145 °F and the chops are nicely browned.
For the Outdoor Grill,Grill the Pork Chops: Season both sides of the pork chops with salt and pepper. Preheat your outdoor grill to medium-high heat. Place the pork chops directly on the clean, greased grill grates and cook for 4-5 minutes per side until they reach an internal temperature of 145 °F and develop a nice brown sear. Let them rest briefly before serving to lock in the juices.
Finish the Pork Chops: Brush the pork chops with the tamarind habanero glaze on each side at the last minute of cooking, allowing the glaze to caramelize slightly.
To Serve: Place the fresh deli-style coleslaw in the center. Spoon some of the tamarind habanero glaze onto the plate. Place a pork chop on to of the coleslaw.
