Grilled Pork Chops With Chunky Andouille Barbecue Sauce Recipes

GRILLED PORK CHOPS WITH CHUNKY ANDOUILLE BARBECUE SAUCE

Steps:

• Spray grill rack with nonstick spray and prepare barbecue (medium heat). Sauté sausage and onion in heavy large saucepan over medium-high heat until onion begins to brown, about 8 minutes. Add tomato sauce, vinegar, sugar, 2 teaspoons chili powder, and 1 teaspoon cumin. Bring to boil; remove from heat.
• Meanwhile, sprinkle chops on both sides with salt, then chili powder and cumin. Grill chops until cooked through but not dry, about 9 minutes per side.
• Serve chops with sauce.

GRILLED GIANT PORK CHOPS WITH SWEET PEACH BARBECUE SAUCE

Steps:

• Build a multi-level fire in the grill: Leave 1/4 of the bottom free of coals, bank the coals in the remaining 3/4 of the grill so that they are 3 times as high on 1 side as on the other. When the coals are all ignited and the temperature has lowered to medium (hold hand about 5-inches above grill grid, over the area where coals are deepest, for 4 to 5 seconds), the grill is ready to cook.
• Make spice rub: Combine the ingredients for the spice rub in a small bowl and mix well. Rub the pork chops generously on both sides with the mixture and set aside while making the sauce.
• Make the sauce: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat the oil until hot, but not smoking. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, about 11 to 13 minutes. Add the peaches, ginger, and tomatoes and cook, stirring frequently for 2 minutes. Stir in the vinegar, orange juice, sugar, allspice, and salt and pepper, to taste. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until the mixture is reduced by about 1/2 and thickened slightly, about 20 minutes. Taste and adjust for the seasoning, then transfer the sauce to a blender or food processor and puree until smooth (be careful with hot liquids). Reserve 1/4 cup sauce for basting the chops, then pour the remaining sauce into a small serving bowl.
• Put the chops on the grill over the coals and cook, turning once, until desired doneness; 8 to 10 minutes per side for medium. During the last 30 seconds of cooking on each side, baste the chops generously with the sauce. Check for doneness.
• Serve the chops hot with extra barbecue sauce on the side.
• Cook's note: The spice rub and barbecue sauce contains sugar, which might burn while cooking on the grill. If the chops start to burn on the outside, move them to cooler part of the grill and cover with a metal pie pan or disposable foil to finish cooking.

GRILLED PORK CHOPS WITH CHIPOTLE-HONEY BARBECUE SAUCE

Steps:

• In a saucepan over medium-high heat, heat the oil. Add the onion, reduce the heat to medium-low and cook until softened and just beginning to brown, about 10 minutes. Add the ketchup, vinegar, honey, adobo sauce and salt and stir to combine. Reduce the heat to low and cook, uncovered, for 15 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat. Spoon about 1/2 cup of the sauce into a small bowl; set aside. Cover the pan to keep the remaining sauce warm.
• Preheat the grill.
• Season the pork chops on both sides with salt and pepper to taste and lightly brush with oil. Place the chops on the hottest part of the grill and cook until browned. Turn the pork chops and brush the browned sides with sauce from the bowl. Cook the chops until the other side is brown, then turn and transfer to a cooler part of the grill and continue to cook, basting occasionally with the sauce, until cooked through, about 8 minutes, depending on the thickness of the chops.
• Serve the chops with some of the reserved warm sauce spooned over each chop.
