Hawaiian Pork Chops...

Morning All:
At about 3:30pm this afternoon EggHatter asked if I would fix a pork loin (3.3 lbs) for dinner tonight (as she took it out of the freezer). Being the obedient husband that I am :laugh: I said of course and prepared a brine to both help it thaw and add moisture. Here is the whole loin (has been cut, but to give you an idea of the size)...
After a while she then asked if instead of the whole loin could I do boneless chops, so again "yes dear" and it became four chops...
Then she asked "how about stuffing them"...we looked around the kitchen and found pistachios, dried pineapple & coconut and of course DP Pineapple Head...ended up using about a 0.25 cup of each for two chops...here stuffed with mixture...
a few toothpicks to hold them together...
Also baked a sweet tator that had been split in half lengthwise, sprinkled with DP Pineapple Head, a couple pats of butter and some brown sugar then wrapped in foil...the tators went on about 20 minutes before the chops (400 dome temp) indirect on a couple of pieces of broken platesetter...then the chops on direct, raised grid...
Once the chops were almost done, pulled the tators and finished the chops...
Then onto the plates...
And a closeup of the chops after slicing through...
This was VERY GOOD! The pineapple, pistachio & coconut went together fantastically. Also used a couple chunks of Guava wood when the chops went on to keep the Hawaiian theme going. Will do the other two chops later this week.

Your killing me Jay,, with everything going on the eggs haven't seen much action lately but Wendy did a loin today in the kitchen clock thing with cream of mushroom soup, potatoes and carrots. It was ok but I would of preferred to be at your house
How's the knee doing? -
Morning Pat:
Sorry to hear about the continued plumbing problems, but at least after the next repairs you shouldn't have any more difficulties (at least with the supply lines).
My Eggs haven't had much action lately either, but mostly because of it being too cold for this (now) Florida boy!
Knee is doing fine...no real "pain", just some discomfort as it is slightly swollen still, but it definitely feels a LOT better than before the surgery.
Stay warm!Have a GREAT day!

Nicely done! When I do them that thick, I have to revert to a sear/roast. But you executed it perfectly.Knoxville, TN

Morning Chris:
Thanks! With having the pocket of stuff it was almost like two "thinner" chops...just flipped a couple times (total cook time was probably less than 15 minutes).Have a GREAT day!

Morning Faith:
Thanks! This was only two chops, but we were talking about making a large loin piece for a group of people by making the pocket, stuff and then everyone could slice off the thickness they want!Have a GREAT day!

Morning Jay
That's a great looking cook Jay, I feel as though my kitchen is missing out as I doubt very much that I would have found pistachios, dried pineapple & coconut there! LOL. Thanks for sharing.
