Brown Sugar & Five Spice Rubbed Pork Chops
Serves 4
In Camden, Chef Fiona cooked up her savory Brown Sugar and Five Spice Rubbed Pork Chops with Roasted Pineapple and Green Onions for Dave Matthews Band and crew. At home, we recommend pairing this recipe with Dreaming Tree Crush Red Blend.
Ingredients
PORK CHOPS
- 4 1-inch bone-in pork chops
- 1-2 tablespoons canola oil
SPICE MIX
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon Chinese five spice
- 1 1/2 teaspoon coriander
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 2 teaspoons salt

Instructions
PORK CHOPS
- Drizzle canola oil on chops and liberally rub with the spice mix. Let sit for at least 1 hour.
- Preheat grill or pan (preferably cast iron) over medium heat.
- Sear each side of the pork for 4-5 minutes, until both sides are caramelized and the juices run clear. If the pan smokes too much, turn the heat down.

- Toss pineapple and green onion with canola oil, salt, and pepper.
- Roast for 15-20 minutes until lightly brown and softened. Transfer to bowl.
