| Author Notes: | This fabulous book helps you put restaurant quality entrees on the table in record time. Find oyster sauce and Asian chile sauce in the Asian foods section of your supermarket. You can also use a cast iron skillet, instead of a charcoal fire, to char the tomatoes. |
| Ingredients: |
5 vine-ripe tomatoes 2 tablespoons plus 1/2 teaspoon sugar 1/4 cup peanut or safflower oil 3 cloves garlic, finely minced 2 tablespoons oyster sauce 1 teaspoon Asian chile sauce or your favorite hot sauce 3 tablespoons chopped fresh oregano 4 (1 to 2" thick) bone-in pork chops or veal chops salt freshly ground black pepper 1/2 cup all-purpose flour |
| Instructions: |
Advance Preparation: Prepare a very hot fire in a charcoal grill or preheat a gas grill to high (or use cast iron skillet over high heat instead). Cut the bottom and top off each tomato. Cut in half horizontally and sprinkle with sugar on both sides. When the grill is hot, brush grill rack with oil and place tomatoes on the rack. Grill, turning once, for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, until charred. When cool enough to handle, peel and coarsely chop the tomatoes, including the seeds. Place a small sauce pan over medium heat. When hot, add 1 tablespoon of the oil. When the oil is hot, add the garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, until it begins to brown. Immediately add the tomatoes, the 1/2 teaspoon sugar, oyster sauce, chile sauce, and oregano and bring to a simmer. (The tomato mixture can be covered and refrigerated for up to 8 hours before using.) Last-Minute Cooking: |
