Grilled Pork Chops with Brandied Peach BBQ Sauce
- 4 bone-in center loin pork chops
- 2 tablespoons Creole Seasoning (page 167)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 pound fresh peaches (or use frozen if peaches are not in season)
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1/4 cup brandy
- 1/2 cup Mutha Sauce (page 165)
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Kosher salt and black pepper
- Fire up the grill and get it nice and hot while you do some cooking inside.
- Slit the bootstrap tendon on the side of each chop (if there is one) in one place so the chops wont curl on the grill.
- Mix up a paste of the Creole Seasoning and oil.
- Rub this generously into the chops.
- Set aside.
- Get busy with the sauce.
- Slit the skin of the peaches on the bottom with an X, then plunge them into boiling water for 30 seconds.
- Remove, peel, and cut in half.
- Pluck out the pits, and slice the peaches up lengthwise.
- Drop the butter into a saucepan set over medium heat.
- Once it melts, add the ginger and cook til soft.
- Slide in the peach slices and brown sugar and give it all a gentle stir.
- Pour in the brandy and ignite with a match.
- Once the flame dies down, add the Mutha sauce and cinnamon and season with salt and pepper.
- Get out and check your grill.
- If youre using charcoal, spread a nice even coal bed and set the chops directly over the coals.
- When the juices rise up to the surface near the bone, give the chops a flip.
- Continue cooking til the meat reaches an internal temperature of 145 to 150 (see Cookin Perfect Pork, page 95).
- All in all, the chops should be done in 8 to 10 minutes.
- Dont overcook them.
- Serve em up on a platter with the sauce spooned all over.
