Cooking Tips

• Make sure to marinate the pork chops for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.
• If using wooden skewers for the pineapple slices, soak them in water for 30 minutes before grilling to prevent them from burning.
• For extra flavor, brush the pork chops with the marinade while grilling.

Storage and Serving

• Leftover grilled pork chops can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• To reheat, place the pork chops in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes, or until heated through.
• Serve the grilled pork chops with pineapple and basil hot, alongside rice or grilled vegetables for a complete meal.
