How to Make Cajunized Oriental Pork Chops

  1. Season both sides of 2-3 (1-inch thick) pork chops generously with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Add pork chops and cook slowly, turning occasionally, until browned on both sides (about 5-7 minutes per side).
  4. Add 1/2 cup dry white wine, 1/2 cup chopped bell pepper, 1/4 cup chopped onion, and 2 cloves minced garlic to the skillet.
  5. Cover and reduce heat to low; simmer for 25-30 minutes, or until pork chops are cooked through.
  6. Remove pork chops from the skillet and set aside.
  7. Add 1/4 cup soy sauce and 1/4 cup reserved pineapple juice (from a can of pineapple chunks) to the skillet.
  8. Stir and simmer for 10 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
  9. Add 1 cup drained pineapple chunks and return the pork chops to the skillet.
  10. Bring to a gentle boil; then remove from heat.
  11. Serve immediately over cooked rice. Garnish with chopped green onions, if desired.
