marinade

  • 15 mL (1 tbsp.) sriracha sauce
  • 15 mL (1 tbsp.) honey
  • 125 mL (1/2 cup) pineapple juice
  • 5 mL (1 teaspoon) curry powder
  • 2.5 mL (1/2 tsp.) ground turmeric

sauce

  • 1 red onion, chopped
  • 1 red bell pepper, cut into small pieces

  • 10 mL (2 tsp.) turmeric powder
  • 30 mL (2 tbsp.) vegetable oil
  • 125 mL (1/2 cup) water

  1. In a bowl, mix all the ingredients of the marinade together and pour into a large freezer bag and place the veal chops in the bag. Season with salt and pepper and mix well in the bag. Marinate for one hour.
  2. For the sauce, in a saucepan with the oil, gently heat the onion, bell pepper, pineapple and turmeric until lightly softened.
  3. Add water and honey. Add salt and pepper. Reduce by half.
  4. Prepare grill for direct heat, brush grates with oil and preheat to high.
  5. Place chops on hot grates and grill for 5 to 10 minutes on each side, depending on desired doneness. Rotate the meat 90° after 3 minutes of cooking to create a grid pattern.
  6. Remove chops from grill, place on a plate and cover with aluminum foil and allow to rest for 5 minutes.

  8. Slice remaining pineapple, brush with olive oil and grill.
