Hawaiian Pork Chops

Ingredients

4 bone-in pork chops

1 cup pineapple juice

1/4 cup soy sauce

2 tablespoons honey

1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon sesame oil

1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Salt and black pepper to taste

Pineapple rings for garnish

Fresh cilantro for garnish

Cooked rice for serving

Instructions

In a bowl, whisk together pineapple juice, soy sauce, honey, grated ginger, minced garlic, sesame oil, red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and black pepper.

Place the pork chops in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag.

Pour the marinade over the pork chops, ensuring they are well-coated. Marinate for at least 30 minutes, or refrigerate overnight for more intense flavor.

Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.

Remove the pork chops from the marinade and grill for 5-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) and the chops are nicely seared.

Baste the pork chops with the remaining marinade during grilling.

Grill pineapple rings for 1-2 minutes per side until they have grill marks.

Serve the Hawaiian Pork Chops over cooked rice, garnished with grilled pineapple rings and fresh cilantro.

Enjoy the tropical flavors of this Hawaiian-inspired dish that’s perfect for a delicious and exotic meal!

The Summer Cookbook You Never Bought

Preserving summer produce through techniques like freezing, making jam, and roasting in olive oil extends the availability of nutritionally dense peak-season ingredients well beyond their natural season — allowing the cook to access the higher vitamin and antioxidant content of in-season produce throughout the year. Berries frozen at peak ripeness retain most of their antioxidant content for up to a year, research shows, making the simple act of spreading fresh berries on a sheet pan and freezing them one of the most nutritionally efficient food preservation techniques available to any home cook.

Sesame Ginger Edamame Bites

Edamame is one of the most complete plant-based protein sources available—delivering all nine essential amino acids in a single ingredient alongside significant fiber, folate, and isoflavones linked to cardiovascular health. At nearly as much protein per serving as a hard-boiled egg, it’s one of the hardest-working ingredients in any snack rotation.

Smoky Chipotle Black Bean & Farro Bowls

Farro and black beans together form one of the most nutritionally complete plant-based meal combinations available—the beans contribute lysine-rich protein that farro lacks, while the farro provides methionine-rich protein that beans lack, creating a complete amino acid profile equivalent to animal protein when eaten in the same meal. This is whole-food complementary protein done exactly right.
