The March 06 issue of Bon Appetit has tasty looking recipe for Hoisin Marinated pork chops. It’s got lot’s of cool stuff in the marinade like oyster sauce, black bean sauce, garlic, ginger and of course hoisin sauce. One odd ingredient is a whole teaspoon full of red food dye. Throw all this stuff in a giant ziploc with a bunch of pig for 3-5 days & then broil. I may choose to BBQ it, because it’s just that time of year.

Once I finished putting it all together, after noticing it’s wonderful dark red colour, I just couldn’t help but have some fun with the kids. Only the Mini Dude bit. “I’m not eating heart” he announced as I took the bag outside to show it off to the other kids. They aren’t quite so easily fooled.

The marinade tastes great, and later this week I’ll review the finished product and post the recipe.
