Let these chops marinate while you're at work. When you get home, you can have a hot meal ready in minutes! It's easy to see why this tasty Asian-flavored recipe is a hit with Barbara Lopshire of Holland, Michigan. Ingredients:
1 can (8 ounces) sliced pineapple |
1/2 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce |
3 tablespoons lemon juice |
2 teaspoons brown sugar |
2 teaspoons sriracha asian hot chili sauce or 1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce |
2 garlic cloves, minced |
2 boneless butterflied pork chops (1/2 inch thick and 5 ounces each) |
1 teaspoon sugar |
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
Directions:
1. Drain pineapple, reserving juice; set pineapple aside. In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the soy sauce, lemon juice, brown sugar, chili sauce, garlic and reserved pineapple juice; add pork chops. Seal bag and turn to coat; refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
2. Drain and discard marinade. Using long-handled tongs, moisten a paper towel with cooking oil and lightly coat the grill rack. Grill pork chops, uncovered, over medium heat or broil 4-5 in. from the heat for 4-5 minutes on each side or until a thermometer reads 145°. Let meat stand for 5 minutes before serving.
3. Meanwhile, combine sugar and cinnamon; sprinkle over both sides of pineapple rings. Grill for 1-2 minutes on each side or until browned. Serve with pork. Yield: 2 servings.
