Ingredients
- 4 pieces Bone-in pork chops
- 8 rings Canned pineapple rings (in juice)
- 120 ml Pineapple juice (from can)
- 30 grams Unsalted butter
- 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 30 grams All-purpose flour
- 240 ml Chicken stock
- 15 ml Soy sauce
- 10 grams Brown sugar
- 2 grams Salt
- 2 grams Black pepper
- 1 sheet Frozen puff pastry, thawed
- 1 large Egg (for egg wash)
- 15 ml Water
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Season the pork chops with salt and pepper on both sides.
Step 3
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and melt half of the butter (15 grams). Sear the pork chops on both sides until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side. Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set aside.
Step 4
To the same skillet, add the remaining butter (15 grams). Sauté the diced onion until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more.
Step 5
Stir in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to form a roux. Slowly pour in the chicken stock and pineapple juice, whisking constantly to avoid lumps.
Step 6
Add soy sauce and brown sugar, and stir to combine. Allow the mixture to thicken slightly, about 3-4 minutes. Season with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Step 7
Return the seared pork chops to the skillet. Reduce the heat to low and let them simmer in the sauce for 5 minutes to absorb the flavors. Turn off the heat and let the mixture cool while preparing the pastry.
Step 8
Roll out the puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. Fit the pastry into a greased pie dish, allowing excess to hang over the edges.
Step 9
Place two pineapple rings on the bottom of the prepared crust. Arrange the pork chops on top of the pineapples, overlapping slightly. Spoon some of the onion-pineapple sauce over the pork chops, then layer the remaining pineapple rings on top.
Step 10
Fold the edges of the puff pastry over the filling. Beat the egg with water to create an egg wash, and brush it over the pastry for a golden finish.
Step 11
Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and fully cooked.
Step 12
Allow the pie to rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
