Main Courses

Oriental Pork Chops

1⁄4 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 cloves garlic, minced
1⁄3 cup brown sugar
1⁄4 cup catsup
2 tablespoons white vinegar
1 8-ounce can of crushed pineapple (in its own juice)
4-6 boneless pork chops

Combine the first 6 ingredients and the juice from the pineapple. Set aside. Cut slits into the sides of the pork chops to form pockets. Marinate the pork chops in the soy sauce mixture for 1 hour or overnight. Stuff each pork chop with 1 tablespoon of pineapple. Reserve pineapple. Preheat grill and cook pork chops over medium high heat for 10-15 minutes on each side until done. Optional: add remaining pineapple to marinade and boil for 3 minutes. Serve over pork chops.
