"PICKEPEPPA SAUCE
Since 1921, Shooters Hill Jamaica"
-From the bottle

The refrigerator light goes on...

I have loved Pickapeppa sauce since I was a kid and my parents used to serve it over cream cheese at cocktail parties. I haven't used it much for cooking but the suggestion of a sauce inspired this black bean sauce.

Preheat the oven to 425°F. Place a non-stick grill pan in the oven.

Place the rinsed black beans, lite coconut milk, pickappepa sauce and cilantro leaves in a blender or mini chopper and blend until smooth.

Place the sauce in a plastic storage container.

When the oven is hot sprinkle the salt and pepper over one side. Spray the hot pan lightly with olive oil and place the pork chops in to sear seasoned side down.

Cook for approximately 8 minutes on the seasoned side and turn. Cook for another 8 - 10 minutes until a instant thermometer reads 140°F.

Remove from the oven and let the meat rest for about 2 minutes. While the meat is resting gently heat the sauce in the microwave. Heat for ten seconds, stir and repeat until steaming.
