• Grill. Once the grill is very hot, add the pork chops and pineapple slices. You should hear a sizzling sound when they hit the pan -- if you don't, wait!

(The pineapple slices should grill for about 3 minutes per side. Remove them from the grill when they're done, while you continue to cook the pork.)
• Assemble and serve. On a large serving platter, or on individual serving plates, place each pork chop on top of 2 of the grilled pineapple slices.Drizzle the pineapple-onion sauce over the pork chops, and spoon a bit beneath them, too.
