PINEAPPLE PORK CHOPS



Pineapple Pork Chops image

Pineapple pork chops are a breeze to make and unbelievably delicious. The seasoned pork chops are first seared then cooked in a simple sauce made of pineapples, honey, soy sauce, and garlic. The pineapples become caramelized and the chops are super tender.

Categories     Dinner

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 boneless pork chops
1 teaspoon EACH: garlic powder and onion powder
½ teaspoon EACH: salt and pepper
1 tablespoon cooking oil
14 ounce can of unsweetened pineapple tidbits (juice and fruit)
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons soy sauce (gluten-free or coco aminos, as needed)
3 cloves garlic (finely minced)
Minced cilantro (to serve)

Steps:

  • Season the pork chops on both sides with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
  • Heat the oil in a large, non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the pork chops and sear for 4-5 minutes, or until golden on one side.
  • While the chops are searing, add the pineapple tidbits, honey, soy sauce, and garlic to a medium-sized bowl.
  • Flip the chops over then pour the pineapple sauce into the pan. Continue to cook the pork chops until they reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit and the pineapple sauce has reduced and thickened a little, about 10 minutes. If the pineapple sauce is getting too thick, add a splash of water.

Categories     main-dish

Time 9h35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

Four 1-inch-thick bone-in pork chops (8 to 10 ounces each)
Base Brine, recipe follows
2/3 cup small-diced pineapple
2/3 cup small-diced zucchini
1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, torn
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon chardonnay or white wine vinegar
1 teaspoon finely chopped shallots
1 teaspoon finely minced jalapenos
1/4 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup kosher salt
1 teaspoon black peppercorns
3 cloves garlic, smashed
1 sprig fresh thyme
1 sprig fresh rosemary
1 bay leaf

Steps:

  • Place the pork chops into a glass baking dish or bowl and pour the chilled Base Brine over top. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight.
  • About an hour before serving, make the salsa. Combine the pineapple, zucchini, mint, olive oil, chardonnay, shallots, jalapenos, ginger and some salt and pepper in a mixing bowl. Let marinate 1 hour. (This is best if allowed to marinate for 1 hour, but you can also serve it straight away if necessary.)
  • When ready to cook the pork, prepare a grill for medium-high heat. Remove the pork chops from the brine, pat dry and allow to sit out while the grill is preheating.
  • Season the pork chops on all sides with salt and pepper. Place onto the hot grill and cook until the internal temperature registers 145 degrees F on a meat thermometer, 7 to 8 minutes per side for medium. Allow the pork chops to rest for 5 minutes before serving topped with the salsa.
  • Combine the brown sugar, salt, peppercorns, garlic, thyme, rosemary, bay leaf and 8 cups (2 quarts) water in a large stockpot and heat just to dissolve the salt and sugar. Chill thoroughly before using.

GRILLED PORK CHOPS WITH PINEAPPLE SALSA



Grilled Pork Chops with Pineapple Salsa image

Categories     Onion     Pork     Quick & Easy     Pineapple     Hot Pepper     Summer     Grill/Barbecue     Gourmet

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
4 (1-inch-thick) bone-in rib pork chops (about 2 1/4 lb total)
1/2 pineapple, peeled, cored, and cut into 1/4-inch dice (1 1/4 cups)
1/2 cup finely chopped red onion
1 fresh serrano chile, minced, including seeds
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

Steps:

  • Prepare grill for cooking over direct heat with medium-hot charcoal (moderate heat for gas); see Grilling Procedure
  • Stir together oil, cumin, pepper, and 1 teaspoon salt in a small bowl, then rub all over pork chops, transferring chops as coated to a tray. Stir together pineapple, onion, chile, lime juice, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt in another bowl.
  • Lightly oil grill rack and grill pork chops (covered only if using a gas grill), turning over once, until just cooked through, 6 to 9 minutes total. Transfer to a clean platter and let stand 5 minutes. Serve with pineapple salsa.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use thick-cut pork chops that are at least 1 inch thick.
  • Brine the pork chops in a mixture of water, salt, sugar, and spices for at least 30 minutes before grilling. This will help to tenderize the meat and add flavor.
  • Grill the pork chops over medium-high heat for 6-8 minutes per side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Baste the pork chops with the pineapple marinade every few minutes while grilling. This will help to keep them moist and flavorful.
  • Let the pork chops rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.

Conclusion:

Grilled pork chops with pineapple is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a summer cookout. The pork chops are tender and juicy, and the pineapple marinade adds a sweet and tangy flavor. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
