Ingredients

• 8 pieces lamb chops
• 1 cup pineapple juice
• 0.25 cup soy sauce
• 3 tablespoons honey
• 4 cloves garlic
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger
• 1 tablespoon lime juice
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 6 slices pineapple rings, fresh or canned
• 2 tablespoons green onions, chopped
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, whisk together the pineapple juice, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, lime juice, sesame oil, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.

Step 2

Place the lamb chops in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or up to overnight for best flavor.

Step 3

Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.

Step 4

Remove the lamb chops from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off, and reserve the marinade. Grill the lamb chops for 3-4 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness (130°F for medium-rare or 145°F for medium).

Step 5

While the lamb chops are grilling, place the pineapple rings on the grill. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are caramelized and lightly charred.

Step 6

Transfer the cooked lamb chops to a platter and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 7

Optional: Pour the reserved marinade into a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 3-4 minutes to use as a glaze or sauce for the lamb and pineapple.

Step 8

Serve the Hawaiian lamb chops with the grilled pineapple rings. Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds for an extra burst of flavor and visual appeal.
