Ingredients
  

Sauce Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup pineapple juice
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cider vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
Pork and Sauté
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 4 boneless pork loin chops (5 ounces each)
  • 2 medium onions, chopped
Optional Serving
  • Hot cooked noodles Optional
  • sliced green onions Optional

Equipment

  • Large skillet

Method
 

  1. Mix the pineapple juice, brown sugar, cider vinegar, and salt together in a bowl.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Brown the pork chops on both sides, then remove them from the pan.
  3. Add the remaining oil to the same pan. Sauté the chopped onions over medium heat until they become tender.
  4. Add the juice mixture to the onions and bring the liquid to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, covered, for 10 minutes.
  5. Return the pork chops to the pan. Cook, covered, until an internal temperature of 145° on a thermometer is reached, which takes about 2 to 3 minutes.
  6. Remove the pan from the heat. Let the pork chops stand, covered, for 5 minutes before serving. Serve over hot noodles and top with green onions if you choose.

Notes

This recipe uses simple pantry items to create a flavorful meal in under 30 minutes. The sweet and tangy sauce coats the pork chops well. If you do not have pineapple juice, you can use orange juice for a slight flavor change.
