  2. Add the chipotle peppers and tamarind purée and cook for another 10 minutes on a low heat. Add the Worcestershire sauce at the very end.
  3. Meanwhile, boil the potatoes until tender, mash with the garlic and fold in some butter and the cream. Season.
  4. Season the pork and grill for about 10 minutes, turning once or twice until cooked through. Brush the pork with the glaze and serve with the garlic mash.

    This was a very disappointing recipe, there was way too much liquid for it to be a glaze, I definitely would not recommend it.

    Very tasty, but theres a modification to the recipe - where it says simmer, boil it instead over a moderate heat, stiring and watching carefully until it starts to thicken and goes slightly sticky. That give you a glaze rather than a soup.

    If you ignore the cooking time for the sauce an simply simmer until it reaches a sauce like consistancy this recipie is great.
