Sweet & Spicy Pork

This is probably one of the easiest marinades I've ever made, and it's full of flavor! We used it on pork loin, but I think it would be equally delicious on chicken, especially if it's grilled. The marinade only has 4 ingredients, but it's full of flavor -- sweet, spicy, smokey, and slightly salty.

Ingredients
  • 2/3 cup maple syrup
  • 1-2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce (you can buy these in a can in the International aisle, and they last forever)
  • 1 Tbsp soy sauce
  • 3 cloves garlic
Directions
  1. Pour all ingredients into blender or small food processor. Process until smooth.
I used a pork loin, sliced into 1/2 inch pieces, and marinated it in this for about 2 hours. Then I cut up an onion and stir fried everything together, serving over rice. Next time, I'm going to marinate chicken and grill them! Yum!

  1. What does it take to get a new recipe around here?!?!?!?!

    I am enjoying your posts quite a bit and have tried quite a few of them.

    The Cilantro Lime Chicken with Avocado Salsa was fantastic!

    Keep them coming...

  2. Hi,

    Just found your blog (by doing next blog from mine on blogspot). I like what I see especially the sweet & spicy pork. I use maple soy and garlic for salmon and it's delish! I'll be checking out more of your recipes.
