Time 1h35m

Number Of Ingredients 17

Ingredients

4 boneless pork chops
salt (to taste)
4 clove fresh garlic, minced
2 tsp dry rosemary, crushed
1 bay leaf
1 to 2 tsp black pepper (or to taste)
6 1/2 Tbsp white wine vinegar
2 small onions, thinly sliced
2 Tbsp olive oil
4 slices pineapple
RICE
3 Tbsp olive oil
1/2 medium onion, chopped
5 1/2 oz peas
3 cups water
1 1/2 cups uncooked white rice
1 tsp salt (or to taste)

Steps:

1. Preheat the oven to 350ºF (180ºC).
2. Season the chops with salt. Mix together the garlic, rosemary, bay leaf, pepper and white wine. Add the chops and let marinate in the refrigerator about an hour.
3. FOR THE RICE: Place the olive oil, chopped onion and peas in a medium saucepan, and sauté over low heat until onion starts to turn slightly browned. Increase heat to high and add the water, and let it reach a boil. When it starts to boil, reduce heat to medium and let it simmer about 15 minutes. Then reduce heat to low, add the rice and salt, stir well, and let simmer, covered, for about 10 minutes or until rice is tender and has absorbed all the liquid.
4. FOR THE PORK CHOPS: Add chops and marinade to a baking pan, then add the onion slices to the pan. Drizzle olive oil on top, and roast in preheated oven for 25 minutes.
5. Meanwhile, cut the pineapple slices into pieces and set aside.
6. Briefly remove the baking pan from the oven and add the pineapple pieces. Return pan to the oven more 5 minutes until the chops start to turn slightly golden brown.
7. Remove the baking pan from the oven and serve the chops with the cooked rice.

Tips:

To ensure the pork chops are evenly cooked, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. The pork chops should reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare, 155°F (68°C) for medium, or 165°F (74°C) for well-done.
If you don't have brown sugar, you can substitute it with an equal amount of granulated sugar.
For a sweeter sauce, add an extra tablespoon of brown sugar or honey.
If you like a thicker sauce, mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water and add it to the sauce while it's simmering. Bring the sauce to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 1-2 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
Serve the pork chops with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, rice, or roasted vegetables.

Conclusion:

This oven-baked pineapple pork chops recipe is an easy and flavorful dish that's perfect for a weeknight dinner. The pork chops are tender and juicy, and the pineapple sauce is sweet and tangy. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a delicious meal that the whole family will enjoy.
