Try the sauce with grilled fish or chicken, too.

1 small mango, peeled, pitted

1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons vegetable oil

1 tablespoon minced garlic

1 jalapeño chili, seeded, minced

1/3 cup thinly sliced fresh basil leaves

3/4 cup canned low-salt chicken broth

1 1/2 tablespoons golden brown sugar

1 tablespoon soy sauce

4 6- to 8-ounce center-cut pork chops (about 1 inch thick)

Puree mango in processor. Set aside 1/2 cup puree (reserve any remaining puree for another use).
Heat 1 tablespoon oil in medium skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and jalapeño, then basil; sauté just until basil wilts, about 1 minute. Add broth, brown sugar and soy sauce. Bring to boil, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to low and simmer 3 minutes. Gradually whisk in cup mango puree. Simmer until sauce thickens and coats spoon, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
Prepare barbecue or preheat broiler. Brush pork with 2 teaspoons oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill or broil pork until just cooked through, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer to plates.
Rewarm sauce over low heat, stirring occasionally. Drizzle over pork.
