Hoisin Barbecued Pork Loins With Apple - cooking recipe
Ingredients
-
2 (8 ounce) pork loin, 1-inch thick
1/2 cup hoisin sauce
2 tablespoons cooking sherry
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons ketchup
2 tablespoons brown sugar (Leave this out if you want the sauce less sweeter)
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon of minced garlic, to taste
1/2 apple (Any kind will do)
1 cup water
1 teaspoon lemon juice
Preparation
-
Mix all the ingredients except the Lemon Juice, Water and apple.
Divide mixture in two, put one half aside.
Put half of the mixture in a sealable bag with Pork Loins and let it marinate for 3 hours (You can do less but I like the flavor to really permeate the meat) but do have at least an hour.
Broil (or BBQ) the pork loins using the marinade mixture from the bag to baste.
Cook on low to medium heat about 8 mins either side so that the meat is properly cooked but the outside does not burn.
The loins will turn brown because of the marinade and this is OK but dont let it burn or it could taste bitter.
Peel your half apple and cut out the core so that you just have the flesh of the apple and dice it into small chunks.
Take the half of the mixture you put aside and add the water, diced apple and lemon juice.
Put the contents in a small pan and warm up on the stove top prior to serving.
You can let it reduce and thicken or leave as is, according to taste.
Just before serving you can drizzle some of the warmed sauce over the pork loins or serve in a gravy boat or sauce jug on the side.
