Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Pork chops
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cups (diced) Fresh pineapple
- 0.5 cup (diced) Red bell pepper
- 0.25 cup (diced) Red onion
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) Fresh cilantro
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 1 piece (seeded and diced) Jalapeño (optional)
Instructions
Season both sides of the pork chops with salt and black pepper, ensuring even coverage.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add olive oil to the pan.
Once the oil is hot, place the pork chops in the skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Remove the pork chops from the skillet and let them rest for 5 minutes.
While the pork chops are cooking, prepare the pineapple salsa. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the diced pineapple, red bell pepper, red onion, cilantro, lime juice, honey, and jalapeño (if using). Mix well to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed.
Taste the salsa and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding a pinch of salt or more lime juice as preferred.
Serve the seared pork chops topped with the fresh pineapple salsa. Pair with a side of rice or salad for a complete meal.
