2 tablespoon Chopped shallots
One half cup Water
2 tablespoon Tamarind glaze
1 teaspoon Chopped garlic

In a small saute pan, melt the sugar and add the kumquats, shallots, and
One half cup of water. It will form its own syrup. Allow to slowly cook for 10
minutes. Meanwhile, combine the tamarind glaze, garlic, and One fourth cup chicken
stock, season with salt and pepper. Season and grill the pork chops,
occasionally basting with the tamarind glaze. After the kumquats have
cooked for 10 minutes, add the remaining stock, bring to a boil and simmer
for 5 minutes. Season, it may need some more sugar, depending on how tart
the kumquats are. Remove the pork from the grill, place on plates and top
with some of the kumquat sauce. Drizzle with any remaining tamarind glaze.
