Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method -------- ------------ --------------------------------
COLD APRICOT-CHIPOTLE GLAZED TENDERLOIN
My husband loves the sweet-hot flavor of this pork, especially when it has been grilled.
INGREDIENTS:
--1 cup apricot jam --2 chipotles en adobo --2 garlic cloves --3 tablespoons tequila --2 tablespoons mild olive oil --2 pork tenderloins (about 1 pound each) --2 cups fruit-wood smoking chips, soaked in water for 30 minutes
INSTRUCTIONS: Combine the jam, chipotles, garlic, tequila and olive oil in a food processor. Process until smooth.
Put the tenderloins in a shallow glass dish and add three quarters of the apricot-chipotle sauce. Set the remaining sauce aside. Turn the meat in the sauce until well coated. Set aside to marinate for at least 30 minutes. Light a charcoal fire or heat a gas grill to medium. Scatter the soaked wood chips over the white ash-covered coals, or put them in a foil pan, which you have poked holes into, then place over the heat source.
Put the tenderloins on the hot grill and close the lid. Grill for about 20 minutes, turning frequently. Watch carefully; they burn easily.
I like to place the remaining glaze in a saucepan on the grill so it, too, can smoke. To serve, cut the tenderloins across the grain into thin slices. Accompany with the heated sauce. Serves 4.
