Grilled Pork Chops With Pineapple image

I came across this recipe in Sunset Magazine (June 2005) while looking for interesting and a bit different summer grilling recipes. I think it will be delicious with a cold rice salad with cheesecake or ice cream sundaes for dessert.

Time 50m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/3 cup pineapple juice
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 teaspoon ginger
1/2 teaspoon allspice
1/2 teaspoon hot chili flakes
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
4 pork chops (3/4 inch thick)
12 ounces peeled and cored pineapple
1 red onion
2 tablespoons mint, chopped, garnish
lime wedge, garnish

Steps:

  • Whisk together first 8 ingredients (pineapple juice - dry mustard).
  • Place pork chops in a marinating dish or zip lock plastic bag and add all (except for 1/4 cup) of the juice/spice mixture. Seal bag or cover dish turning to coat all. Marinate in refrigerator for several hours (at least 4).
  • Cut pineapple into 1/2-inch thick slices. Peel onion and cut crosswise into 1/2 inch thick slices. Place onion and pineapple in a dish and drizzle with remaining juice mixture, let stand 20 minutes at room temperature.
  • Prepare grill.
  • Discard marinade from chops.
  • Lay chops, pineapple and onion on an oiled grill over a bed of hot coals (or high heat on a gas grill). Cook turning once until pineapple and onion are browned and pork is brown on outside and done on the inside (5-10 minutes).
  • Transfer chops to plates and garnish with grilled pineapple and onion. Sprinkle with mint and garnish with lime wedges, if desired.
