Grilled Pork Chops with Pineapple Sauce Marinade

Pineapple is great for marinades; it lends amazing sweet-and-sour flavour and contains enzymes that help tenderize the meat.

¼ pineapple, peeled, cored, cut into chunks
2 chiles, such as jalapeño or Serrano, sliced
1 clove garlic, chopped
¼ cup cilantro leaves with tender stems
2 Tbsp. soy sauce
1 Tbsp. fish sauce
4 pork chops

Mix pineapple with chiles, garlic, cilantro, soy sauce, and fish sauce. Pour over pork chops. (Before marinating, set some marinade aside to use as a dipping sauce.)

Cover; chill at least 6 hours and up to 1 day. Remove pork from marinade; grill or broil.

Makes 4 servings.
