Posted in reply to a request. Prep time includes the 2 hour marinating time. Note: The word "sauce" in this recipe refers to a very thick basting sauce/paste, and not a liquid "gravy" type sauce.

• Serves: 4

Ingredients

• Marinade

• 1  tablespoon olive oil
• 1⁄2 teaspoon salt

Directions

1. Mix marinade ingredients together, add chops and let marinate for at least 2 hours.
2. Mix all sauce ingredients together well.
3. Preheat broiler to 500°F.
4. Remove chops from marinade, and dip them into the sauce mixture.
5. Broil the chops for about 7-10 minutes.
6. Dip chops into sauce mixture again, and broil the chops on the other side for about 7-10 more minutes, or until done.
7. While the second side of the chops are broiling, heat the remaining sauce until it simmers.
8. Simmer sauce for about 1 minute.
9. Serve chops with additional sauce* if desired.
10. *Note: If you would like additional sauce to serve on the side with the chops, make a second batch of the "sauce," thinning it a bit with 1/4 to 1/3 cup of water to prevent scorching when heated.
