Serves 4

Pork Chops

  • 4 1 inch bone-in pork chops
  • 1-2 tbs. canola

Spice Mix

  • 3 tbs. brown sugar
  • 1 tbs. plus 1 tsp. Chinese five spice
  • 1 1/2 tsp. coriander
  • 1 tsp. dried thyme
  • 2 tsp. salt
  • 1/2 tsp. pepper

Roasted Pineapple

Directions

Pork Chops:

  1. Drizzle canola on chops and liberally rub with the spice mix. Let sit for at least 1 hour.
  2. Preheat grill or pan (preferably cast iron) over medium heat.
  3. Sear each side of the pork for 4-5 minutes, until both sides are caramelized and the juices run clear. If the pan smokes too much, turn the heat down.

  1. Preheat oven to 400°.
  2. Toss pineapple and green onion with canola, salt, and pepper.
  3. Roast for 15-20 minutes until lightly brown and softened. Transfer to bowl.
