Grilled Pork Chops with Pineapple and Red Onion

I have finally converted the hubby on grilled fruit!   The caramelized pineapple and onion go great with this flavorful pork chop.  Yum.

Grilled Pork Chops with Pineapple and Red 
Onion

1/2 c. chopped fresh cilantro
1/2 c. pineapple juice (I didn't have any so, I just pureed some pineapple in the food processor)
1 jalapeno pepper, seeds removed and much of the ribs removed (you be the judge based on how spicy you like it)
1 T. honey
juice of one lime
1/4 t. pepper
1/2 t. salt
1 lb. boneless thin cut pork chops, trimmed
1 medium pineapple, peeled, cored, and cut into 1/2 inch rings
1 large red onion, cut into 1/2 inch rings
1 T. EVOO

Combine the cilantro, pineapple juice, jalapeno, honey, lime juice, salt and pepper in a blender or food processor until smooth.  Reserve 1/4 c. for serving.

Marinate the pork chops in the mixture for 5-10 minutes.

Brush pineapple and red onion with the olive oil.

Remove the pork chops from the marinated and season with more salt and pepper.

Grill the pineapple and onion for 4-5 minutes per side and the pork chops for 3-4 minutes per side.

Once plated, drizzle the reserved marinated over everything and garnish with cilantro and a lime wedge.
