Pork with Coffee Peanut Sauce

Ingredients:

This was super fast, and really delicious. You can really taste the coffee with the peanut, and it’s a surprisingly nice flavor combination. Garam Masala always goes really nicely with peanut sauces – the combo of spices is just right to give it a real depth of complimentary flavor. You can sub regular soy for the dark if you don’t have it, but I like the thicker, mellower dark soy to go with sweeter dishes like this.

Ingredients:

- 1/2 lb of pork, thinly sliced into strips (these are rib chops, but you can use any leaner cut)
- 1 tsp garam masala, divided
- 2 TB dark soy sauce, divided
- 4 TB peanut butter, divided
- 1 1/2 TB brown sugar
- 3-4 TB strong brewed coffee
- skewers, soaked if wooden

Step 1:

Step 2:

In a small bowl, mix 1/2 tsp garam masala with 1 TB dark soy, and 1 TB peanut butter. Rub into pork and marinate 1 hour in the fridge.

Step 3:

Thread the pork on skewers. Broil on the highest and closest setting about 2-3 minutes per side, until lightly browned and cooked all the way through.

Step 4:

In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the remaining garam masala, soy sauce, peanut butter, brown sugar, and enough coffee to thin to make a dipping sauce. Set aside.
