RECIPE BOX: Teriyaki Pork Chops

CHEF DIRK IS adding some pizzazz to your pork chops, and he’s bringing pineapple.

Ingredients

• 2 green onions chopped
• 1/3 cup soy sauce
• 2 TBL Ginger root (grated & peeled)
• 2 TBL plus ¼ cup packed light brown sugar
• 4 (about 8oz each) pork loin chops (3/4 inch thick)
• 1 pineapple

Method

• In a 9×13 glass baking dish, prepare teriyaki sauce: with fork, mix green onions, soy sauce, ginger and 2 TBL brown sugar.
• Add pork chops, turning to coat with teriyaki mixture.
• Let stand 20 minutes to marinate.
• Meanwhile, cut off rind from pineapple, then cut pineapple crosswise into ½ inch thick slices.
• Rub pineapple slices with ¼ cup brown sugar.
• Place pineapple slices on grill over medium heat.
• Cook pineapple slices 15-20 minutes until browned on both sides, turning slices occasionally.
• After pineapple has cooked 10 minutes, add pork chops and cook until lightly browned on both sides and chops just lose their pink color throughout (150 degrees) about 10 minutes.
• Turn chops occasionally and brush with remaining teriyaki mixture while grilling.
• Serve each pork chop with a grilled pineapple slice.
