Ingredients
- 1 Tbls olive oil
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- 1 whole diced onion
- 2 mangoes, cubed
- 2 cups low salt ketchup
- ¼ cup molasses
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- ¼ teaspoon paprika
- ¼ teaspoon ground cumin
- 6-8 boneless pork chops
- to taste Salt and pepper
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a medium sized pan. Add the garlic and onions until they are translucent - about 2 minutes.
- Stir in the diced mangos to the pan and stir for about another 2 minutes. This will release some of the juices of the mango.
- Then stir in the ketchup, molasses,worcheshirie, paprika, and cumin. Add the salt and pepper to your taste.
- Remove from the heat and tranfer to a blender. Blend until it becomes a smooth sauce.
- Heat up the grill to medium heat, I like to spray the grill with non-stick spray. Once heated, place the pork chops on the grill. Depending on the size of the chop, usual total cook time is about 15 minutes. My chops were about 1 inch thick. I usually cook the chops for about 3 minutes and rotate 45 degrees to get nice grill marks on the chops. Then brush the top of each chop with the mango BBQ sauce.
- After about 6 minutes, flip the pork chops on the grill and baste the mango BBQ sauce on the cooked side of the chops. Pork chops should be done in about another 5 minutes. Be careful not to overcook!
