Ingredients:
- 4 boneless pork chops
- Pinch of salt and pepper
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 440g can of pineapple pieces in juice
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- Coriander (to serve), roughly chopped
- 4 cups Asian greens (Chinese broccoli, bok choy or pak choy) OR green beans
- Brown rice, cooked according to packet instructions
Method:
- SEASON pork chops with a pinch of salt and pepper on either side.
- HEAT oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the pork chops and sear until golden on one side (about 4-5 minutes).
- COMBINE the canned pineapple and juices, honey, soy sauce garlic in a medium bowl.
- FLIP the pork chops over and then pour the pineapple sauce into the pan.
- COOK until the pork chops are cooked through and the sauce has thickened slightly, around 10 minutes. Sprinkle with coriander once finished.
- MEANWHILE, steam the Asian greens in a steamer or colander over boiling water until tender, around 10 minutes.
- SERVE the pork chops with brown rice and the steamed Asian greens.
What's Great About It:
These pineapple pork chops are quick and easy to make and will be a recipe the whole family will enjoy! The sauce caramelizes and thickens while the pork chops stay beautifully tender. If you don’t like Asian greens, try serving with steamed green beans or broccolini instead.
