Marinated Grilled Pork

Especially to balance the less than complimentary pork info posted this week, I must share this delicious recipe. Pork with a spicy-salty paste grilled onto the edges should clearly be used as a special occasion treat, not as weekly fare. (Note that I also suggest splitting it among a party of people.) Adapted from an adapted recipe, this has been a summer BBQ hit.

Ingredients

2-3 lbs boneless pork meat

8 cloves garlic

2 cups loosely packed cilantro leaves and stems

1/3 cup chipotles in adobo sauce (use only 3 tbsps chipotles to get the smoky flavor without the spiciness)

4 tbsps ground cumin seeds

2 tbsps mustard powder

3-4 tbsps ground coriander seeds

4 tbsps salt

3 tbsps ground black pepper

juice of 4 limes

1/3 cup olive oil

Instructions

Put all ingredients (except the pork) into a food processor and puree. This will produce a thick brown paste.
Cut pork into thick strips and cover all sides of them with the spice paste.
Refrigerate the paste-covered pork until grilling time.
Grill the paste-covered pork at high heat for about 10 minutes. The paste will form a grilled crust around the meat.
Cut into pieces, distribute, and eat happily.
