---

✅ Ingredients:

• 4 pork chops

• 1 slice of pineapple (fresh or canned)

• 2 garlic cloves, minced

• 1 tablespoon olive oil

🥄 Instructions:

1. Prepare the pineapple:
If using fresh pineapple, cut it into thin slices. If using canned pineapple, drain it well and cut into smaller pieces.

2. Season the pork chops:
Season the pork chops with salt, pepper, minced garlic, and oregano. Add soy sauce if you like a saltier flavor. Let them rest for a few minutes to absorb the seasoning.

3. Cook the pork chops:
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat with olive oil. Cook the pork chops for about 4–5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and fully cooked inside. Remove and set aside.

4. Caramelize the pineapple:
In the same skillet, add the pineapple slices. Cook over medium heat for 2–3 minutes. Add honey or brown sugar if you want a sweeter touch. Let the pineapple caramelize slightly and release its juices.

5. Assemble the dish:
Place the pork chops on a plate and top with the caramelized pineapple.

6. Optional garnish:
Drizzle with lemon juice and garnish with fresh cilantro if desired.
