East Meets West Grilling Glaze

• 6 whole green cardamom pods
• 4 whole star anise
• 1 tablespoon whole white peppercorns
• 1 tablespoon whole black peppercorns
• 2 whole garlic cloves
• 1" slice ginger root
• 1 - 12 ounces can Coca-Cola (no diet!)
• 1/2 cup brewed coffee
• 2 tablespoons blackstrap molasses
• 1 tablespoon tamari
• 1 tablespoon sambal olek
• 2 teaspoons fish sauce
• 2 teaspoons ketchup
• 1 tablespoon lime juice

1. Gently toast the whole spices in a saucepan until they are fragrant (I LOVE the smell of toasted white peppercorn in particular). Add the Coke, coffee, garlic and ginger and simmer gently until it has reduced to 1/2 cup.
2. Strain the liquid into something - I just use a 2 cup measuring cup. Stir in the remaining ingredients. Taste for heat (I add more chili) and salt (you can add a splash more fish sauce or tamari).
3. That's all there is to it - brush it on whatever you are grilling, and enjoy!!!
