Huli Huli Pork with Pineapple and Peppers


For the sauce:
1/4 c. ketchup
2 Tbsp soy sauce
2 Tbsp brown sugar
1 Tbsp vegetable oil
1 Tbsp garlic, minced
1 Tbsp ginger, minced
1 Tbsp lime juice
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes

For the pork:
4 boneless pork chops
2 red bell peppers, stemmed and seeded
8 pineapple slices
8 green onions

For sauce:
Combine all ingredients in small saucepan and simmer until sugar dissolves. Use some while cooking the pork and reserve some for serving.

For the pork:
Preheat grill.
Season pork with salt and pepper. Grill pork, basting meat with sauce while cooking. Cook until done. Grill peppers and pineapple until lightly charred, 2-3 minutes per side. Slice peppers when cool enough to handle.
Serve pork with peppers, pineapple, green onions and reserved sauce.

Makes 4. Total time 30 minutes.

Verdict:
We served this with rice. It was yummy. I liked the roasted peppers and pineapple. We used pineapple from a can and think that it worked out just fine. However, I am sure it would taste better with fresh pineapple. The sauce was good and had a slightly spicy flavor. Blake liked it and the kids didn't seem to mind.
