Hi everyone! Since summer is here and the 4th of July is coming up I decided to make this week postings about grilling. This is a perfect sweet and spicy recipe. If you don't like too much spice cut back on the red pepper flakes. I hope y'all enjoy!
Serves 4
Ingredients:
1 pineapple, peeled, quartered lengthwise and cored
1 tablespoon minced peeled ginger
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 tablespoon Liquid Aminos,**** plus a splash for the salsa
1/2 teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder
1 bunch scallions
1/2 teaspoon of red pepper flakes
4 bone-in pork sirloin chops (1/2 inch thick)
Directions:
1) Start off by cutting a 2-inch piece of the pineapple and grate it on the coarse holes of a box grater into a large bowl.
2) Stir in the ginger, vegetable oil, 1 tablespoon soy sauce 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes and 1/4 teaspoon five-spice powder.
3) Add the scallions and pork chops and turn to coat; let marinate at room temperature, 10 minutes.
4) Rub the remaining pineapple with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon five-spice powder.
5) Preheat a grill to medium high. Grill the pork chops until just cooked through, about 3 minutes per side.
6) Grill the scallions and pineapple, turning occasionally, until charred, about 3 minutes.
7) Roughly chop the pineapple and scallions and transfer to a bowl. Add the rest of the red pepper flakes and a splash of liquid aminos and toss.
8) Serve the pork chops topped with the pineapple salsa.
****Liquid Aminos is an all purpose seasoning from Soy Protein. It's a substitution for soy sauce. Liquid Aminos has 1/4 of the sodium that regular and low sodium spy sauce. If not on a low sodium diet you could use 1 tablespoon of soy sauce.****
