Recipe: Pork chops with chipotle glaze

Ingredients
  • Pork chops
  • 4 pork chops
  • Salt/white pepper, as needed
  • Olive oil, as needed
  • Chipotle glaze
  • 1/2 cup sugar moistened with 2 tablespoons of water
  • 2 tablespoons chopped garlic
  • 1 tablespoon ancho chili, toasted and chopped in 1/2 pieces
  • 1 tablespoon chipotle chili, toasted and chopped in 1/2 pieces
  • 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 1/2 cup lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup orange juice
  • 1 teaspoon salt
Preparation

Pork chops
Season pork well with salt and rub with olive oil, then grill. Spoon the chili glaze liberally over the pork to coat well and serve.

Chipotle glaze
Put sugar in a heavy-bottom pot and moisten with enough water to make the texture of wet sand. Cook over high heat until golden and add garlic. Cook, stirring until garlic is toasted and golden, then add chilies. Stir until fragrant, then add juices. Reduce until you have a sweet and sour glaze, then add salt. Reserve at room temp until needed.
