At Trader Joe’s, we embrace the culinary seasons and seasonings from around the world, with summertime being no exception. In that spirit, we invite you to this unique cookout with Grilled Pineapple & Prosciutto-Stuffed Pork Chops, featuring Trader Joe’s Soyaki!
As a jumping off point, we took inspiration from Hawaiian flavors—like pork and pineapple—and added a teriyaki twist. But we didn’t stop there; to really WOW with TJ’s Frenched, Bone-In, Center-Cut Pork Loin Chops, it seemed fitting to stuff them with TJ’s Prosciutto Wrapped Fresh Mozzarella Cheese sticks. The ideal plus one for a pork chop party!
Before you start, make sure to preheat the grill and marinate your meat! During the several hours of marination, the Pork’s proteins will break down, making the meat more tender and seasoned from the inside out. Don’t be afraid to char your ingredients! The grill marks will add a sweet complexity because of the sugar content in both the pineapple and the Soyaki glaze.
Watch the video and follow our step-by-step guide to learn how to elevate your Grilled Pineapple & Prosciutto-Stuffed Pork Chops and impress your barbecue guests!
