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

Instructions

1. 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.

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

3. 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.

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

5. 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.

6. Baste the pork chops with the remaining marinade during grilling.

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

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