  • Tenderizing the Pork Chops: To make the pork chops more tender, you can use a meat mallet to pound them gently before cooking. This will help to break down the muscle fibers and make them more tender.
  • Cooking the Pork Chops: When cooking the pork chops, be sure to sear them over high heat to create a nice crust. Then, reduce the heat and continue cooking until the pork chops are cooked through. This will help to keep them juicy and flavorful.
  • Making the Pineapple Gravy: The pineapple gravy is a delicious and easy way to add flavor to the pork chops. Be sure to use fresh pineapple for the best flavor.
  • Preparing the Mexican Couscous: The Mexican couscous is a flavorful and easy side dish that pairs perfectly with the pork chops. Be sure to use vegetable broth instead of water for added flavor.
