Ingredients
For the Pork Chops
- 4 pork chops (bone-in or boneless)
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
For the Sauce
- 1 cup chopped onion
- 1 cup chopped bell pepper (any color)
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 1 can pineapple chunks (drained, but save the juice)
- 1½ cups white wine
Instructions
-
Heat the Oil: In a large, deep frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
-
Brown the Pork Chops: Add the pork chops to the pan and brown them on both sides for about 3-4 minutes.
🔥 Ensure the pan is hot enough before adding the pork to achieve a lovely sear. This will enhance the flavor and keep the juices locked in!
-
Add the Vegetables and Pineapple: Layer the chopped onion, bell pepper, minced garlic, and pineapple chunks on top of the pork chops.
-
Pour the Wine: Add the white wine to the pan.
-
Simmer: Cover the pan and simmer for 30 minutes.
-
Add Pineapple Juice: After 30 minutes, add the reserved pineapple juice to the pan. Continue to simmer for an additional 45 minutes to one hour, until the pork is tender.
⏳ Feel free to check the temperature! The pork is ready when it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C). Remove the pork and let it rest for a few minutes before serving for maximum juiciness.
Serving Suggestions
Serve your Chinese Pork Chops over a bed of steamed rice or alongside sautéed green beans for a complete meal. Drizzle some of the savory sauce from the pan over the top for an extra kick of flavor! 🌿
Variations
- Spicy Kick: Add a teaspoon of red pepper flakes or sliced jalapeños for a spicy version. 🌶️
- Pineapple Free: Swap out the pineapple for chopped mango or peach for a different fruit flavor profile! 🍑
- Herb Infusion: Toss in some fresh basil or cilantro during the last 10 minutes of cooking for added freshness. 🌱
Enjoy cooking and savoring this delightful dish that combines the best of sweet and savory flavors!
