Time 8h5m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

6 boneless pork chops (thick)
1 garlic clove, minced
1 small onion, chopped in large pieces
1 (16 ounce) can crushed pineapple
3/4 cup ketchup
3 tablespoons brown sugar

  • Use a combination of pineapple juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, and spices to create a tangy and savory sauce. Adjust the proportions to suit your taste preferences.
  • Enhance the Polynesian flavor profile by adding pineapple chunks or crushed pineapple to the slow cooker. This will infuse the pork with a sweet and tropical taste.
  • For a smoky flavor, add a teaspoon of liquid smoke to the sauce. This will give the pork a subtle hint of smokiness without the need for a grill or smoker.
  • Serve the Polynesian barbecued pork with rice, noodles, or roasted vegetables for a complete meal. You can also use it as a filling for tacos or sandwiches.
