LUAU PORK
I got this recipe out of a convection oven cookbook and I have had excellent results every time I have made it. It produces a very nice Hawaiian-type pulled pork. It is very good for theme parties (luaus, tropical, etc.). The leftovers (if any) make delicious sandwiches.

LUAU PORK CHOPS
My boyfriend LOVES pineapple so I set out to create a main dish that incorporated his favorite food. I serve this over rice seasoned with butter and a soy sauce (1 T butter and 2 t of light soy sauce per cup of uncooked rice). I add them right to the rice cooker in the beginning and it always turns out yummy. Also, when I can find it, I buy a frozen diced onion, red and green pepper mix. Sam's Club carries it occasionally and it's a terrific recipe staple!
