Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Hawaiian Style Pork Chops.
Step 1
Begin by mixing flour, salt, and black pepper in a shallow bowl to create a flavorful coating.
Step 2
Take each pork chop and thoroughly dredge it in the flour mixture, ensuring both sides are well-covered, then gently shake off any excess flour.
Step 3
Heat shortening in a large skillet over medium heat, then add the coated pork chops.
Step 4
Sear them for about three minutes on each side until they achieve a beautiful golden-brown color.
Step 5
Once browned, drain any excess fat from the skillet and return the pork chops to the pan.
Step 6
In the same skillet, combine three-quarters of a cup of water with pineapple juice concentrate, sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
Step 7
Cover the skillet and let it simmer for approximately thirty minutes, allowing the pork chops to cook through and the sauce to reduce slightly.
Step 8
After this, introduce the pineapple rings to the skillet and let them cook for an additional five minutes, infusing the dish with sweetness.
Step 9
Once done, carefully remove the pork chops and pineapple from the skillet.
Step 10
In a small bowl, mix one tablespoon of water with cornstarch, then stir this mixture into the simmering sauce in the skillet.
Step 11
Cook until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency, then generously pour it over the succulent pork chops and pineapple for a delightful finish.
Step 12
Enjoy this dish that beautifully marries savory and sweet flavors, perfect for any occasion.
