Ingredients:

Serving

6 tbsp portuguese-style red pepper paste (see recipe i posted)
6 (4 oz) boneless pork chops, trimmed
2 cups dry white wine
1 tbsp olive oil
1/2 tsp fresh ground pepper
1/4 salt , to taste
1 tbsp coarsely chopped fresh parsley, for garnish

Directions:

Prepare Portuguese-Style Paste (see recipe I posted).
Place pork chops in a shallow glass dish and rub pepper paste over both sides.
Pour wine over the chops.
Cover and refrigerate for at least six hours or overnight, turning once or twice.
Drain marinade into a small saucepan.
Add oil and bring to a simmer.
Reduce heat to medium-low and cook, stirring occasionally, until slighly thickened, about 15 minutes.
Stir in pepper and salt.
Measure out 1/4 cup sauce for basting.
Keep remainder warm.
Meanwhile, heat grill to medium-high.
Lightly oil grill rack.
Place the chops on the grill.
Cook, basting occasionally with pepper sauce, until browned and just cooked through, 2 to 2 1/2 minutes per side for 1/2 inch thick chops.
Serve immediately, passing remaining pepper sauce separately.
Variation: Substitute boneless, skinless chicken breasts or skinned bone-in chicken for pork chops.
Allow 4-6 minutes per side for boneless breasts, 20 to 30 minutes for bone-in pieces.
Serves 6.
