Categories: Meals

Ingredients

  • 2 cups chopped fresh pineapple
  • 1 cup canned unsweetened coconut milk
  • 1/2 cup ketchup
  • 1/2 cup white rum
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp. apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tbsp. Worcestershire
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp cayenne
  • 4 bone-in pork chops
  • 2 ripe plantains, peeled and halved lengthwise
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
  • Green salad, for serving

Directions

  1. Preheat the broiler. In a food processor, puree the first 10 ingredients, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a saucepan. Simmer over medium heat, stirring often, until the sauce thickens, about 15 minutes; season with salt and pepper.

  2. On a rimmed baking sheet, drizzle the pork and plantains with the coconut oil; season. Arrange the plantains, cut-side down. Measure 1/2 cup of the sauce; brush 1/4 cup over the pork.

  3. Broil the pork, flipping the chips and brushing with the remaining 1/4 cup of reserved sauce halfway through cooking, until cooked through, 10-15 minutes. Serve with salad and the remaining sauce.
