Peppered Grilled Pork Chops With Warm Plum Sauce Recipe

Ingredients

3 tablespoons unsalted butter

8 ounces medium-size white mushrooms, brushed and cut into quarters

3/4 cup bottled Asian plum sauce

1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce

1 teaspoon ground ginger

2 tablespoons peanut oil

6 bone-in pork loin chops, each about 3/4-inch thick

1 tablespoon freshly-ground peppercorns

Preparation

Melt butter in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat until lightly browned. Add mushrooms and sauté 4 minutes or until lightly browned. Off heat, stir in plum sauce, soy sauce and ginger. Return to heat and bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer, stirring, for 3 to 4 minutes.

Light the briquettes and when glowing, spread on the bottom of a grill. Sprinkle pork chops on both sides with ground peppercorns, pressing it in to adhere well. Add chops and cook 4 to 5 minutes on each side, or until just medium done. Serve with glazed mushrooms and warm plum sauce.
