Grilled Hoisin Pork Chops

This is super easy and fast, and it lends a nice Asian flair to the pork chops. You can find hoisin sauce in most grocery stores.

Pork chops to serve 2 people
Salt and pepper
1/4 cup hoisin sauce
1 tsp hot sauce, or to taste

Pat the chops dry and trim of excess fat. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper and let sit for 30-60 minutes to come to room temperature. Combine the hoisin sauce and hot sauce (if using) in a small bowl. Add a teaspoon or two of water to thin it if desired.

Grill the chops over a medium-hot fire, about 5 minutes per side for 1-inch thick chops (less for thinner ones; check for doneness as you go). About 1-2 minutes before they are done, paint on both sides with the hoisin mixture and finish cooking.

Serves two.
