This quick recipe is fantastic! The seasonings add just the right amount of flavor, and the apricot preserves offer a touch of sweetness. The glaze is also tasty on grilled chicken. Ingredients:
1-1/2 teaspoons ground ginger |
1 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder |
1/2 teaspoon pepper |
6 boneless pork loin chops (6 ounces each) |
1 cup apricot preserves |
2 tablespoons hoisin sauce |
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes |
2 green onions, chopped |
3 tablespoons chopped unsalted peanuts |
Directions:
1. Mix ginger, salt, garlic powder and pepper; rub onto both sides of chops. In a small saucepan, combine preserves, hoisin sauce and pepper flakes; cook and stir over medium heat until blended. Reserve 1/2 cup for brushing chops after grilling.
2. Moisten a paper towel with cooking oil; using long-handled tongs, rub on grill rack to coat lightly. Grill pork, covered, over medium heat or broil 4 in. from heat 4-5 minutes on each side or until a thermometer reads 145°, basting frequently with remaining sauce during the last 4 minutes of cooking. Let stand 5 minutes before serving. Brush chops with reserved sauce; sprinkle with green onions and peanuts. Yield: 6 servings.
